Contract and Liability Law
Secure your commitments. Obtain compensation for damage suffered.
The Code of Obligations governs the formation, performance and termination of contracts in Switzerland (sale, mandate, provision of services, lease, company, etc.).
When damage occurs, through contractual non-performance or an unlawful act (Art 41 et seq.), civil liability aims to re-establish equilibrium by compensating for injury (bodily, material, moral).
At Linea Avocats, we are involved in prevention (contract drafting/negotiation, key clauses, risk management) and litigation (provisional measures, action on the merits, recourse), including vis-à-vis the insurers involved.

This applies to you if...
You need to draw up or secure a strategic contract (commercial, IT, real estate, M&A, distribution).
A partner fails to meet its obligations (delivery, quality, deadlines, payment) and you are considering measures or damages.
You are the victim of an accident or professional error and are seeking compensation.
Your liability has been called into question (company or individual) and you need to organize your defense.
A dispute requires mediation, arbitration or legal proceedings in Geneva or at federal level.
