Contracts are the foundation for successful collaboration. Ensure that the contract accurately reflects intentions and expectations, avoid unpleasant surprises if disagreements arise in the future, and understand the market standard for the specific type of transaction.
An experienced expert will thoroughly review the contract and provide a comprehensive "red flag" report, including tips for optimization.
About the Package
A contract review is always recommended when finalizing an important contract or contract negotiations are underway.
Target Audience
This package is suitable for all businesses on the verge of finalizing an important contract and lack legal background or in-depth expertise in contract review. It's particularly advisable to have the contract reviewed by a legal expert to assess conditions, mitigate risks, and maximize opportunities.
Process and Duration
The contract review can be conducted by a lawyer within one working day. You can specify a deadline in the form for when the contract needs to be reviewed.
Service
- Red-flag report highlighting the most critical contract clauses with color-coding, along with an overall evaluation of the contract (e.g., "typical contract for this type of transaction, slightly favoring the provider").
- For simple contracts, we provide specific suggestions for changes in wording.
- For very complex contracts, we offer clear recommendations for next steps (e.g., "request a more balanced IP rights and liability clause, as they pose a high risk to your company and need to be renegotiated").
- Each contract review includes a discussion with the reviewing legal advisor to address specific points and answer any questions.
Price
Fixed price CHF 590 incl. VAT.
You will receive a customized quote for the contract review. If you have any special requests or circumstances to be considered, please mention them in the free-text section of the inquiry form.

What do I need to know about contracts?
- The so-called 'essentialia negotii', i.e., a clear description of the services and consideration.
- Type of contract (e.g., mandate or contract for services) and legally mandatory provisions.
- Termination rights and notice periods.
- Legal consequences in case of poor or non-performance and liability.
For the vast majority of transactions in Switzerland, there is what is known as freedom of form. This means that the contract could also be concluded orally. However, we always recommend at least a digital signature via platforms such as Skribble or DocuSign.
Note that certain transactions, such as assignments, require written form, i.e., contracts must be signed by hand.
It is advisable to have a good document management system in place to manage and archive contracts. Additionally, the original document should always be kept securely.
Good organization also has a significant impact on negotiations with buyers or investors.
In principle, as long as they are in force and for at least 10 years thereafter (certain documents even longer).
This can generally be freely regulated in the contract (provided no mandatory legal provisions apply). If the contract specifies a notice period that violates mandatory legal provisions, the legal deadlines apply (for example, if the employment contract specifies a notice period of one day after the probationary period, this is irrelevant, and the legal minimum of one month in the first year of service applies). If the contract contains no provisions, it must be checked whether there are dispositive (non-mandatory) legal provisions.
Ultimately, in the case of a contract with a very long term or excessively long notice periods, it should always be examined whether there is a case of so-called excessive binding.
