Rudin Cantieni Rechtsanwälte AG

What Rudin Cantieni Rechtsanwälte AG does

Rudin Cantieni Rechtsanwälte AG is a privately held Swiss law firm (Aktiengesellschaft) headquartered at Josefstrasse 59, 8031 Zürich, with a team of approximately 15 staff including seven or more qualified lawyers, a Konsulent/consultant, a child-procedure representative/social worker, and administrative personnel. The firm specializes in Swiss public law and serves primarily public-sector institutions — schools, municipalities, hospitals, and care homes — across education law, public employment law, municipal law, child and adult protection law, social welfare law, data protection law, and state liability law. It also represents private individuals in family, inheritance, and criminal matters.

The practice is distinguished by a dedicated investigations service line covering internal investigations, administrative investigations, and parliamentary investigation commissions (PUK), an area in which the firm identifies itself as one of only a few Swiss firms with relevant experience. Service delivery is built around interdisciplinary collaboration through formal alliances with kompassus (psychology, communication, organizational development, pedagogy, social work) and IntegrityPlus, intended to produce sustainable post-conflict solutions for clients.

Commercially, Rudin Cantieni operates as a traditional professional-services firm with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through fee-based legal advisory and representation billed to institutional and individual clients on a matter-by-matter basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm relies on reputation, bar-association standing, and referrals from existing clients and interdisciplinary partners rather than active marketing, and is currently recruiting additional legal and administrative capacity.
