Immigration Law

As a firm supporting the entrepreneurial spirit and economical freedom, THEVOZ & Partners knows that the human capital of a company is one of the main factors of competitiveness and success. The labor market is becoming more complex and tends towards more and more specialization, with profiles that often have skills in niche areas. When it is not possible to find the right talent in Switzerland, a company will have to turn to other countries.

Our team advises companies and employees on all the steps involved in moving to Switzerland to start a job. The expertise of our tax lawyers also allows us to answer any questions that employees may have regarding the tax consequences of taking up residence in the country to work.

We also assist foreign investors wishing to set up a business in Switzerland to develop a commercial activity of interest to the Swiss or regional economy. Indeed, under certain conditions, particularly related to the amount of the investment and the prospects in terms of the creation of new jobs, a foreign investor can be granted a residence permit in Switzerland.

Our services in this field also extend to naturalization procedures, as well as to obtaining all types of residence permits, particularly for family reunification.

In these various fields, we intervene both upstream, in order to help our clients prepare an application in order to favor the granting of an authorization, as well as within the framework of procedures already pending before the competent immigration authorities, in particular to assert their right to be heard in the event an unfavorable decision is announced, or to challenge it if a negative decision has already been rendered.

Thanks to our knowledge of litigation in the field of immigration, THEVOZ & Partners masters the material and procedural rules applicable in this field. Thus, we are in the best position to defend our clients before the competent immigration authorities and before the cantonal and federal judicial authorities.
