General

general legal skills for Switzerland

Swiss general practice sits at the intersection of federal codification and cantonal procedural autonomy — the Civil Code and Code of Obligations govern private law with a precision that rewards close textual work, while 26 cantons retain distinct rules on matters from debt enforcement to notarial form, and the Swiss Civil Procedure Code introduced in 2011 unified litigation procedure without erasing those local textures. For practitioners who advise across this breadth, the agent-ready legal skills for Switzerland's general law practice in the ThomasMore catalog are built to reflect that federal-cantonal duality, covering contract drafting, corporate formalities, succession, property, and procedural compliance in a single coherent collection.

Each skill runs over MCP or downloads as a file, letting an agent check a set-off clause against Code of Obligations doctrine, map a cantonal debt-enforcement step under the SchKG, or assemble a due-diligence checklist calibrated to Swiss regulatory expectations — all without switching tools. The skills are maintained by authors who track Federal Supreme Court jurisprudence and legislative updates as they move through Bern. General law in Switzerland demands comfort with German, French, and Italian source materials alongside GDPR-adjacent Swiss data protection obligations under the revised Federal Act on Data Protection, and the ThomasMore catalog skills are scoped accordingly. Use the filters above by license, language, or author to find the capability that fits the matter in front of you.
