Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to all legal services provided by Alessandro Brenci, Attorney-at-Law (the "Firm"), to its clients (the "Client"). Placing an order for services implies unconditional acceptance of these Terms.

The Firm provides legal advisory services, contract drafting and negotiation, compliance assistance, international customs law and financial intermediation. Services are defined in the engagement letter or quote accepted by the Client. Free 20-minute initial consultations are intended for a preliminary assessment of the Client's situation. They do not constitute a mandate and do not bind the Firm beyond that meeting.

Fees are set as follows: • Strategic Consultation: CHF 250 / 60-minute session • Case Package: CHF 1,500 / complete case (up to 5 hours) • Dedicated Lawyer (retainer): CHF 3,500 / month • Hourly rate by quote for complex mandates Fees are expressed in Swiss francs (CHF) and are subject to Swiss VAT at the applicable rate, where applicable. Invoices are payable within 30 days of issue. Late payment will incur default interest at the applicable Swiss legal rate.

Any mandate giving rise to fees exceeding CHF 500 shall be the subject of an engagement letter signed by both parties, specifying the nature of the services, the agreed fees, billing terms and termination conditions.

The Firm is bound by professional secrecy in accordance with Art. 13 of the Federal Act on the Free Movement of Lawyers (FMLA). All information communicated by the Client is treated in strict confidence and is not disclosed to third parties without the Client's express consent, except as required by law.

The Client undertakes to provide the Firm with all information and documents necessary for the performance of the mandate, within the agreed timeframes. The Client warrants the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. Any inaccurate or incomplete information likely to affect the quality of services will release the Firm from any liability in this regard.

The Firm's liability is limited to the amount of fees actually received for the service in question. The Firm cannot be held liable for indirect damages, loss of profits or consequential losses. This limitation does not apply in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Either party may terminate the mandate with 14 calendar days' written notice. Upon termination, the Client shall pay fees corresponding to services performed up to the effective termination date. The Firm may terminate the mandate without notice in the event of a material breach by the Client.

These Terms and the contractual relationship between the Firm and the Client are governed by Swiss law. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the ordinary courts of the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland, subject to any arbitration clause agreed in writing between the parties.

The Firm reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Amendments take effect upon publication on the website. Ongoing mandates remain governed by the Terms in force at the time of their conclusion.
