FlexLaw by Schellenberg Wittmer

Flexible solutions supervised by a leading law firm

In response to the growing need for technology-focused legal services, FlexLaw by Schellenberg Wittmer was launched at the beginning of 2017. FlexLaw provides our institutional clients with access to flexible resources on short notice that can address large-scale or complex tasks for which we have the necessary expertise.

FlexLaw is staffed with Swiss trained lawyers and other professionals with a legal background, who are either employed on a permanent basis or recruited specifically according to the needs of a particular project. To ensure top-quality services, all FlexLaw professionals are selected, trained and supervised by Schellenberg Wittmer.

IT

FlexLaw and Schellenberg Wittmer have extensive experience in the conduct and management of the entire lifecycle of e-discovery and document review projects of all sizes.

Our support in projects typically includes providing strategic advice and selecting and deploying advanced technology solutions and analytics. FlexLaw is proud to partner with leading technology providers on pilot projects using the latest AI to accelerate and streamline processes, placing us at the forefront of technology-assisted investigations in Switzerland.

Furthermore, when necessary, we also coordinate with our in-house or external digital forensics experts. Such support in the early phases of a project is often a key element of its overall success.

FlexLaw has access to the IT infrastruc­ture necessary to provide any service on secure internal and external IT platforms within Switzerland.

FlexLaw is able to offer its services at competitive prices. The pricing model is agreed individually with each client and is available on the basis of hourly, daily or monthly rates, depending on the nature of the project.

Work performed by FlexLaw attracts Swiss legal privilege protection to the same extent as work performed by any Swiss law firm. Our third-party service providers are also bound by the same obligations of confidentiality.

  • Anti-money laundering and other compliance reviews
