Lawyer in Glarus

At first instance, the cantonal court (Kantonsgericht Glarus), for the whole canton. It hears civil and family cases, employment disputes and criminal cases. Criminal investigations are led by the public prosecutor’s office (Staats- und Jugendanwaltschaft des Kantons Glarus). A tenancy dispute starts before the conciliation authority, and administrative appeals go to the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Glarus.

Yes. Whether you live in Glarus, Näfels, Schwanden or another place in the canton, the same cantonal authorities are competent: at first instance the Kantonsgericht Glarus and, for tenancy, the conciliation authority (Kantonale Schlichtungsbehörde Glarus). You do not need a separate page for your village; the practitioners on this page advise across the canton.

Each practitioner sets their own fees, and the rates of the lawyers available are shown live on this page and on every profile before you book. ora.’s service fee appears on a separate line and is never added into the fee, and you pay the practitioner directly. If your means are insufficient, you can apply to the competent court for legal aid.

Against a decision by a municipality or a cantonal authority – a building permit, for example – an appeal to an administrative body is often open first. At cantonal level, the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Glarus has the last word. The deadline is stated in the notice of remedies; a practitioner in administrative law checks the right route.

Check the notice period and the reasons first. If you think the dismissal is abusive, you must object in writing to your employer before the notice period ends. If it goes to court, the Kantonsgericht Glarus decides. An employment lawyer also checks unpaid wages, holiday entitlement and your work certificate.
