Directions

Where our work concentrates

01

Legal analysis

We read the file, the correspondence and the contract history, then set out the position in writing. You receive options with risks attached, not a lecture.

02

Document drafting

Contracts, powers of attorney, corporate resolutions and letters before action, drafted in French, German or English. Every clause is written for the situation in front of us.

03

Transaction support

We accompany sales, share transfers and property deals from the first term sheet to signature. Deadlines, conditions and registry steps stay tracked on our side.

04

Consultations

A focused meeting for one clearly defined question, at our office or online. You leave with a short written note summarising what was agreed.

Aurelia Legal office in Lausanne
About the firm

Twenty-one years on Rue de Bourg

Aurelia Legal was founded in Lausanne in 2005 as a small practice for clients who wanted their lawyer to answer the phone. That has not changed: the person who takes your matter is the person who works on it.

We serve residents of Vaud, Swiss companies and international clients with interests in Switzerland. Work is done under Swiss law, with the GDPR taken into account whenever EU clients are involved.

  • One responsible lawyer per matter, from first call to closing
  • Fee estimate agreed in writing before work begins
  • Correspondence in English, French and German
Method

How we work

I

First contact

You describe the situation by phone or e-mail and we say the same day whether we can help.

II

Review

We study the documents and confirm the scope, the timeline and the fee in writing.

III

Work

Drafting, negotiation or representation proceeds with a short status note at each stage.

IV

Closing

You receive the final documents, the file archive and a note on any deadlines ahead.

Expertise

What we are asked for most

Two decades in a canton where private, commercial and cross-border questions overlap have shaped a practice that is deliberately narrow and deep rather than universal.

Clients

In their words

“The contract review came back in two days with the risky clauses marked and rewritten. We signed the deal a week earlier than planned.”

Marianne FovetManaging director, Lausanne

“Our succession file had been sitting untouched for a year. Aurelia Legal structured it, spoke to the notary and closed it calmly.”

Thomas ReberPrivate client, Vevey

“As a foreign buyer I expected confusion. Everything was explained in English and every deadline was met without me chasing anyone.”

Questions

Before you call

A first consultation is charged at a fixed hourly rate agreed before the meeting, so there is never an open invoice. If we then take the matter on, that fee is credited against the first bill.

Bring the contract, correspondence and any deadline letters you have received, even if the set is incomplete. A short chronology written by you saves more time than any other document.

Yes, provided the matter has a Swiss connection such as a company, a property or a contract governed by Swiss law. Meetings can be held online and documents signed remotely where the law allows.

Enquiries received on a working day are answered the same day, with a first assessment within two business days. Urgent deadline matters are flagged and handled ahead of everything else.
