What Barbier Habegger Rödl Rechtsanwälte AG does

Barbier Habegger Rödl Rechtsanwälte AG (operating under the brand "BHR") is a Swiss law firm structured as an Aktiengesellschaft (AG), founded in 2017 and headquartered in Winterthur with a branch office in Zug. The firm delivers comprehensive legal advisory and representation across 19 distinct practice areas, with stated strengths in business and corporate law (including M&A, corporate finance, private equity/venture capital, restructuring and insolvency), construction and real estate law (both public and private), criminal law with a focus on white-collar matters, litigation and arbitration, plus adjacent practices in employment, family, inheritance, data protection, administrative, sports, and immigration/work permits law.

The firm serves a heterogeneous client base spanning companies of all industries and sizes (both domestic and international), private individuals, and public authorities. Client acquisition is driven by reputation, referrals, and direct engagement through the firm's bilingual (German/English) website, rather than through any disclosed marketing automation or digital channels. A dedicated "Startup Desk" service line targets early-stage companies.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services billing: hourly fees, fixed project fees, and retainer arrangements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm has approximately 10 employees, no disclosed revenue, no parent company, no external investors, and no subsidiaries. Its geographic scope is domestic Switzerland, focused on the economically significant Zürich and Central Switzerland corridors, with the Zug office positioned to serve innerschweizer clients.
