What Schwegler & Partner Anwälte und Notare AG does

Schwegler & Partner Anwälte und Notare AG is a Swiss general-practice law firm and notary office headquartered in Menznau, Canton Lucerne, founded in 1997 and converted into a stock corporation (AG) in 2019. The firm delivers integrated legal services across three core lines: legal representation and advisory (Anwaltstätigkeit) covering family, labor, contract, inheritance, criminal, tenancy, real estate, and administrative law; notarial services (Notariatstätigkeit) for property transactions, company formations, marriage and inheritance contracts, and advance directives; and mediation/conflict coaching (Mediationstätigkeit) provided by a certified SAV mediator. Court representation is offered before all judicial instances in Canton Lucerne and across all German-speaking cantons of Switzerland.

The practice is delivered by a team of roughly 21 staff — seven Rechtsanwälte, one notary, one certified mediator SAV, one legal consultant, six legal staff, and five secretarial staff — operating from a single Menznau office with no proprietary technology stack. Revenue is generated through hourly fee billing (attorneys at CHF 280–320/hour plus VAT, legal staff at CHF 150–180/hour, mediation at CHF 280/hour) supplemented by notary fees regulated under the cantonal Gebührenverordnung. Distribution is direct, with a referral channel via the fmpro Schweiz professional association providing telephone legal advisory to association members.

The firm operates as a privately held, independently owned professional services partnership-equivalent in AG form, with no external investors, no subsidiaries, and no public listing. Marketing relies on the firm's website (anwaltspraxis.ch), editorial contributions to niche professional journals, and earned regional media coverage. There is no evidence of technology investment, M&A activity, or external funding; growth is implicitly organic and dependent on individual lawyer and notary throughput.
