Apply for authorisation for extrajudicial legal services

If you wish to provide extrajudicial legal services against payment, you must be registered in the legal services register.

With the Act to Strengthen the Supervision of Legal Services and to Amend Other Regulations of 20 March 2023, the Federal Office of Justice has become responsible for issuing licences for out-of-court legal services from 1 January 2025.

General information on the Legal Services Act as well as information on the registration procedure, register search, complaints and supervision under money laundering law can be found on the website of the Federal Office of Justice.
