Administrative law
Urbanism law provides the legal framework in relation to the erection of constructions. It constitutes one aspect of real estate law.
As a private person, as a company or as a public entity, you may have, one day, the ambition to build or purchase a building, an apartment or any other type of premises. Such project is normally subject to a certain number of authorisations, which need to be requested and delivered. You may therefore find yourself confronted, being as a builder, neighbour or authority, to objections to the project, which will have to be dealt with in proper proceedings.
Urbanism law is the perfect example of multi-disciplinary law. In this respect, it combines aspects of administrative law and private law, for instance when it comes to negotiation of a purchasing contract for a building, or discussions with neighbours in order to have real estate rights respected (cf. Neighbourhood). In addition, when it comes to foreign citizen, if they would like to purchase properties in Switzerland, a specific law has been enacted by the Swiss Parliament, the “Loi fédérale sur l’acquisition d’immeubles par des personnes à l’étranger (LFAIE), or “Federal Act on purchases of real estate by people domiciled abroad”. As a person living abroad, it is of course not easy to get acquainted with an unknown and external legal system, and a professional legal advice may provide helpful in order to understand the various steps of the proceedings, which may result complex at times.

Social insurances legislation aims at defining the relationships between insurance compagnies and insured people. It includes, but is not limited, to aspects in relation to social security. It further involves various other fields, such as old-age, survivors and invalidity insurance (1st pillar), protection against the consequences of illness and accidents (cf. Road traffic), income compensation allowances in case of military service, and in case of maternity, unemployment insurance, family allowances and, finally, matters in relation to the pension fund.
The social security in Switzerland is a broad and complex matter. It becomes even more complex for foreign citizens, allowed to stay and work in Switzerland. As the social security systems vary significantly from one country to another, it can result difficult to follow the specificities of the Swiss social security system. You may face some questions in those matters, being as a company needing to deal with the social security of its employees, or as an employee, in order to know exactly what would happen, should you be faced with a termination of your contract (cf. Employement & Stay and work in Switzerland).

Foreigners’ law governs the conditions and procedure allowing foreign citizens to stay, live and work in Switzerland.
As a foreign citizen, as soon as you plan to stay or work in Switzerland, you will need to go through a rather complex administrative procedure, in order to ensure that you duly fulfill all requirements and conditions. This also applies if, with your company, you plan to hire foreign citizens which will live and work in Switzerland (cf. Employment), or, if, as a professional sports club, you are willing to hire foreign athletes to strengthen your team (cf. Sport & Associations & Foundations). Swiss law also governs situations of undeclared work, or illegal employment. Finally, foreigners’ law may apply to families, when it relates to the couple’s children (cf. Marriage and divorce).
