Our activities

Situations involving the division of property faced by notaries and private individuals may require the participation of a bailiff who has the knowledge to estimate the movable property involved and to constitute the lots to be divided. 

The Breitenmoser Law Firm and its specialised staff are at your disposal to carry out any inventory of a quantitative or estimative nature for inheritance, tax or insurance purposes.

The bailiff ensures the enforcement of a court decision, as long as it is enforceable, i.e. the procedural conditions for its enforcement are met. Obligations to do give rise to enforcement in kind. This is the case of a judgment ordering the tenant to vacate his home immediately. In the event of non-execution, the bailiff will undertake the forced execution of the judgment. It is enforced in the same way as judgments; the settlement can provide for enforcement measures directly; otherwise, a request for enforcement to the competent judge is necessary.

Service, irrespective of the method of delivery, confers the probative value of delivery of the document on a date certain (e.g. notices to tenants or landlords, letter of termination of employment contract, etc.).

Whether it is a consignment, escrow, escrow agreement, fiduciary deposit or conventional sequestration, it is an arrangement concluded under contractual provisions between the various parties to a transaction, whereby an independent trusted third party receives and disburses a sum of money and/or holds shares, works of art, keys, documents, etc. on behalf of the parties involved in the transaction. 

In all these cases, BREITENMOSER can be appointed as a trusted third party. It should be noted that each situation requires a tailor-made solution adapted to the needs and objectives of the parties.

The Breitenmoser Law Firm is often involved in the organisation and control of competitions with or without a draw (e.g. Balexert shopping centre, television games, Loterie Romande). We are happy to examine or draw up the content of the rules of your competition, which must contain all the information relating to the identity of the various organisers, the conditions of participation, the information relating to the identity of the various participants, the methods of designating the winners, the list of prizes and the way in which they are awarded, etc.

Subsequently, the Study will draw up a certificate which will constitute irrefutable proof of the proper conduct of the competition and which guarantees compliance with the clauses set out in the rules (single entry form, conformity of the answers) as well as the conformity of the prizes and their conditions of attribution.

At the end of the competition, and if the organiser so wishes, the bailiff may receive the entries and draw the winner(s) himself.

In the case of an internet operation, he can do this by means of a file containing the list of participants. It is recommended that a bailiff carries out the draw in the case of high-value prizes (car, trip, etc.). This prevents the result from being called into question.

The Internet, a dematerialised environment par excellence, poses new problems in terms of the administration of evidence, both from a technical and legal point of view. The data circulating on it is available worldwide without interruption. The Breitenmoser law firm will carry out all the necessary investigations, copy and establish defamatory statements, slander, denigration, insults, infringement of your rights to an intellectual creation, unfair competition, parasite, counterfeiting, infringement of privacy, morality, non-compliance (or compliance) with a contract or agreement, etc.

In a professional context, it often happens in the life of a company that certain products are destined to be destroyed. There can be many reasons for this; unsold goods, quality control, non-compliance with standards, etc.

In order to ensure that this operation can be carried out in complete safety, the Breitenmoser Law Firm can intervene, record and draw up a destruction report.

Thus established by a bailiff, the certificate of destruction will be authentic with the tax authorities.
