Lawyer in the canton of Zug

On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser holds a Swiss law degree. You filter by area of law, language and place, compare profiles and fees, and book online, at a law firm in Zug, Baar or Cham, or by video.

Yes. The canton of Zug is a single court district. The Kantonsgericht Zug is competent everywhere for civil cases, the Strafgericht des Kantons Zug for criminal cases and the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Zug for appeals against administrative decisions. The tenancy and employment conciliation boards are cantonal too. Whether you live in Zug, Baar, Cham or Menzingen makes no difference.

Decisions by municipalities and cantonal offices – a building permit, a tax assessment, a ruling by the migration office – can, once the cantonal steps are exhausted, be appealed to the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Zug (administrative court). Depending on the decision, an objection or appeal to another body may be needed first. The remedy and deadline are stated at the end of the decision; a lawyer checks the right route.

Each practitioner sets their own fee, shown on every profile before you book. ora.’s service fee is a separate line and is never added into the practitioner’s fee. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, legal aid may be available.

The Advokatenverein des Kantons Zug is the professional association of Zug lawyers. Membership is not the same as being entered in the cantonal bar register, which is what allows a lawyer to represent clients in court. That register entry is what ora. checks before publishing a lawyer’s profile.
