Short, sourced briefings on the questions our clients actually ask — Swiss employment and data-protection law, internal investigations, digital forensics and security. Written to be used, not to impress.
Why we
publish these
Most of what is written about corporate investigations is either marketing or a summary of a statute. Neither helps when a board has to decide, this week, whether it may look at an employee's laptop.
These briefings take the questions clients actually put to us, set out what Swiss law permits, and mark plainly where the answer depends on facts we cannot see from outside. Each one cites its sources so your counsel can check it. Where a matter needs legal advice rather than a briefing, we say so.
