Legal Advice PLUS

Legal Advice PLUS is one of the seven flexible modules that make up AXA-ARAG personal legal protection insurance. It entitles you to three hours of advice on all issues relating to Swiss law. If you have selected other modules, legal advice on the relevant subjects is insured under the respective module and not counted toward the three hours. 

For example, if you have taken out Legal Advice PLUS in conjunction with the Home & Everyday, Mobility & Travel, Health & Personal Insurance, Work, and Partnership & Family modules as part of our “carefree life” package, our experts could help you in the following cases, among others: 

• Major building conversions (costing more than CHF 200,000)
• Questions about immigration law and residence permits for foreign nationals, e.g. applying for a C permit
• Contract reviews, e.g. for large transactions such as buying a plot of land
• Company law and other issues relating to self-employment, from leasing premises to hiring staff and setting up a limited-liability company 

You can make sure you’re covered for the issues mentioned above and also get advice when you aren’t involved in a legal dispute, for instance if you want to start your own business or are planning a major building conversion.

Legal advice is all about answering your questions on legal issues. We look at your case with you, make recommendations for what to do next, and clarify anything you’re unsure about.

With legal protection insurance, in addition to providing legal advice, we actively support you in the event of a legal dispute by drafting documents, taking legal action, and covering lawyer’s fees and court costs.
