The specialist lawyer is better placed than any other to estimate with the greatest possible precision the foreseeable cost of the services he provides.

With more than 15 years of experience in construction and real estate, the Lawyer has assembled an impressive catalog of cases constantly updated with new experiences. This valuable work tool allows him to formulate the most suitable package tailored to the needs of the customer.

The package sometimes plus a premium (pactum palmario) is usually divided into phases with each of them deadlines. The client thus controls his legal fees. He is protected from hourly billing, the verification of which is often a source of conflict.

Computer security

IT security brings together all legal, technical and human processes that ensure the confidentiality and integrity of information, documents and data exchanged with the customer and third parties. These elements are encrypted after a complex procedure guaranteeing the strict respect of professional secrecy (Article 321 SCrimPC).

The lawyer operates with his own storage and remote access (clouding) system, both with a triple ID security level and a constantly redirected dynamic IP address making it virtually impossible for unauthorized third parties to remotely access electronic records of the client.

He also has a qualified electronic signature, which allows, if the customer wishes, that the e-mails exchanged be exclusively by this signature.

Jurisdictional activities

Since November 2015, Mr Petermann assumes the duties of assessor lessor to the Prefectural Committee on conciliation in leases in the District of Morges and of Nyon.His commissions intervene in any question relating to the lease of real estate things.

The role of the Assessors Donors is to try to reconcile the parties, to advise and make the decisions provided by law. In some cases, the commission acts as an arbitral tribunal at the request of the parties.
