Profile We offer comprehensive legal advice and support, as well as all attorney and notarial services for businesses, tradespeople, individuals, and specialized areas. Our clients expect us to quickly understand their concerns. In close collaboration with them, we develop and implement the right solutions. We assist our clients with our professional knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking in all pending legal questions and problems – in daily life as well as in special situations. In our work, we focus on customer needs and benefits. Discreet, competent, cost-conscious. History Soon, Dr. Peter Von der Mühll joined the partnership, turning the firm into a notary office as well. Until Andreas Waldmann joined in 1982, this trio worked together without change. In 1987, Dr. Heinz Lukas Faesch, the founder's son, joined, who has served as the President of the Criminal Court of Basel-Stadt since 2004. With Daniel Olstein's entry in 1991, our firm was named Waldmann Faesch & Partner, becoming the first law firm with a company name in Basel. Today, we operate under the name WALDMANN PETITPIERRE. Private Clients You benefit from care that no single lawyer can offer in today's rapidly changing legal needs. We still focus on areas of law where we have above-average expertise, such as marriage, family and divorce law, inheritance law, notarial services, insurance law, traffic law, and traffic criminal law. At the beginning of our work is the agreement on the content and cost of the order. We want you to know what we do for you, what it brings, and what it costs. Business Clients Whether as an outsourced legal department or on a case-by-case basis, we offer our services tailored to your needs. We provide legal advice on the founding, restructuring, and dissolution of companies and support you with succession planning. We deal with national and international contract law and represent you in contract negotiations and litigation. We protect you from unjustified claims and enforce your claims. With our technical knowledge, we can also help in complex disputes, where not only legal but also the client's and company's expertise is crucial. Special Areas Our lawyers also have passions. Legal hobbies, special legal fields where they excel. Whether it's legal solutions for events in sports and culture, special issues of transport law, trademark law, activities as financial intermediaries, or questions of international notarial law. We are happy to advise and support you, individually and convincingly.
