§ P1 · PARTNER · THREE JOBS
SIP operates according to a simple principle: mandates are only assigned to lawyers registered in the cantonal bar register. NGOs and social services provide complementary support – they offer guidance, facilitate connections and provide assistance.
§ B1 · RAIL 1 · CANTONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS
Before a new canton is opened, a pre-clearance process will be carried out with the cantonal bar association. The content relating to this canton will then be reviewed by a lawyer registered in the cantonal bar register.
