Legal Specialist CHE - top experts in all areas of law

Legal specialists are highly qualified experts for various legal matters and tasks in companies, administrations, insurance companies, banks, trust companies, law firms, the police, the public prosecutor's office, etc. Their day-to-day work varies depending on the employer. Everyday working life varies greatly depending on the employer.

As the qualified legal specialist CHE does not have a license to practice law, they are not permitted to appear in court. Rather, they usually take on an internal advisory function in companies, law firms or public administrations and investigative bodies and are regarded as professional experts in the legal field. Legal specialists take on advisory tasks for both internal and external clients. They draft and check contracts and provide the necessary documents for notarizations. They deal with issues and legal tasks in companies and handle simpler legal cases independently. With their meticulous work, they support lawyers and thus speed up legal proceedings in a decisive way. In law firms or at the public prosecutor's office, they take on a large part of the preliminary work in court cases and investigations and are therefore considered indispensable and competent specialists alongside the public prosecutor's office. In public administrations, they handle appeals and objections and are able to initiate rulings independently. In insurance companies, they are regarded as experts in advising on claims. Legal specialists are familiar with all areas of law and therefore have the expertise to look at cases from different perspectives.
