About Notary

In Switzerland, a notary is a highly specialized legal professional and public officer authorized to authenticate documents, certify legal transactions, and provide impartial counsel. While all notaries are jurists, their specific role is distinct from that of a lawyer, whose primary duty is to represent and advocate for one party's interests. The notary's function, by contrast, is to ensure the legality and formal validity of agreements for all parties involved.
