What Kaufmann Rüedi Attorneys at Law Ltd does

Kaufmann Rüedi Attorneys at Law Ltd (legal name: Kaufmann Rüedi Rechtsanwälte AG) is a full-service Swiss law firm founded in 1974 and headquartered at Alpenquai 28a, 6005 Luzern, Switzerland. The firm employs approximately 18 people and operates a single office serving Central Switzerland (Zentralschweiz) with selected cross-border work via an International Desk and the DIRO European law firm network. Its practice spans 15+ legal areas including corporate/M&A and succession, employment, real estate and construction, family and inheritance, compliance and white-collar crime, healthcare and life sciences, IT/ICT and data protection, public procurement, debt collection and bankruptcy, public/administrative law, arbitration and mediation, sports law, notary services, and legal translations. The firm serves both corporate/business clients and individual clients, with additional exposure to healthcare/life sciences and public-sector verticals.

The firm generates revenue through professional fee-for-service legal advisory and notary services, billed on a per-engagement basis with no publicly disclosed pricing. Client acquisition is driven by direct professional relationships, referrals, the firm's website (krlaw.ch, available in German and English), a quarterly krnews newsletter distributed via mailXpert GmbH, published articles in trade media (KMU-Magazin, Clinicum, CH-D Wirtschaft, krfacts, WOHNEN SCHWEIZ), and active social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, X). A notable disclosed client engagement is the legal advisory provided to Union Group AG on its acquisition of novu ag (a Zurich-based software development agency), led by attorney Raffael Steger.

The firm's technology footprint is conventional for a legal practice: a self-hosted Matomo web analytics deployment, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, OpenStreetMaps for office location mapping, and a mailXpert-powered newsletter platform. The firm was the first law firm in Switzerland to achieve ISO 9001 certification (in 2006, certified by SQS) and successfully completed recertification in July 2025, providing a documented quality management system that is rare in the Swiss legal sector. The firm is privately held under Swiss corporate law (Aktiengesellschaft), with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or M&A activity.
