Frequently Asked Questions About Legal Services for IT Companies in Switzerland

What legal structure is best for an IT startup in Switzerland?

Most tech startups in Switzerland choose a GmbH (limited liability company) for its tax advantages, investor attractiveness, and flexibility. We assist with registration, shareholder agreements, and regulatory filings to ensure a solid legal foundation.

How do I protect my software legally in Switzerland?

Protection includes copyright registration, licensing agreements, and potentially patent filings if the software involves technical innovations. We help draft appropriate contracts and enforce rights under Swiss and international IP law.

Do I need to comply with the GDPR if my clients are outside Switzerland?

Yes, if you handle data of EU residents or operate within EU digital markets, GDPR applies. We assess your exposure and help implement full compliance procedures alongside Swiss data laws.

Can you help with international IT contracts?

Absolutely. We regularly draft and review international SaaS, cloud, and outsourcing agreements to ensure enforceability, IP protection, and legal risk mitigation across jurisdictions.
