Confidential and accurate translations of employment contracts, personnel regulations and pension fund regulations
We translate employment, social security and pension documents for law firms, legal services and HR departments in Switzerland – in an accurate, legally secure and practice-oriented manner.
We translate a wide range of employment & social security law documents – from ordinary employment contracts to personnel regulations, shareholding and remuneration plans, and on to severance and termination agreements. Our translations take into consideration both the legal framework conditions of the Swiss employment & social security laws and their practical application in the ordinary course of business. Even minor linguistic inaccuracies can have major legal consequences. We therefore place particular importance on terminological precision, consistency, and legal clarity.
Thanks to our well-grounded expertise in Swiss social security and pension law, we produce accurate and understandable translations of pension fund regulations, pension information, and information sheets for employees. These translations make a major contribution to internal communications and ensure that the employees’ rights and obligations are conveyed in a clear and legally secure manner, even in multilingual corporate structures.
Even in the case of extensive and legally complex projects such as Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), redundancy schemes for collective dismissals or detailed pension fund regulations, our clients can rely on the accuracy and in-depth knowledge of our specialised team.

For you, this means top quality, traceability and reliability for the translation of your legal documents.

Thanks to this rigorous quality assurance phase, errors are systematically eliminated and the text is scrutinised down to the finest nuance. This process ensures the optimal accuracy and reliability of our translations: these are decisive factors for legal documents, where precision is indispensable.
