Contracts drafted under Swiss law, not adapted from French or German law.
A template downloaded from the internet almost always comes from France, Germany or the UK: wrong notice periods, references to the wrong code, clauses void in Switzerland. Clairdex drafts each document from your situation and Swiss law in force, in the language of your signatories. A question before choosing? The written legal answer settles it within one business day.
Who it is forSMEs that hire, landlords and property managers, online shops, founders, fiduciaries and agencies drafting for their clients.
Order
The documents and files, per item.
Each document is drafted by the team from your answers to a questionnaire, delivered in Word and PDF, with two rounds of corrections and a guaranteed deadline.
Canton, duration, salary, specifics. If an answer creates a risk, for instance a non-compete clause that is too broad, it explains before continuing.
02
You review clause by clause
Each clause carries a plain explanation and its legal basis. You add, remove or reword, the rest adapts.
03
You export and sign
Word for your edits, PDF for signature. The document stays in your workspace with its date and versions.
Why a foreign template does not fit
Four points where Switzerland differs from its neighbours.
Topic
French or German template
Swiss law
Notice period after 5 years
By collective agreement, often 3 months
2 months to the end of a month (Art. 335c CO)
Minimum holidays
5 weeks in France
4 weeks, 5 up to age 20 (Art. 329a CO)
Capital of a limited company
1 euro in France, 25,000 euros in Germany
CHF 20,000 fully paid up (Art. 773 CO)
Withdrawal in online sales
14 days mandatory in the European Union
No general obligation; to be provided in the terms if desired
These differences are enough to make a foreign contract inapplicable or contestable in Switzerland. Clairdex never starts from a foreign template.

A contract generated by Clairdex is a contract like any other: it is valid through the signature of the parties and its compliance with the law. Clairdex ensures that compliance at generation and explains each clause. For an unusual transaction or a large amount, have it reviewed by a lawyer; you bring a clean document, they bill less.
Can I edit the document?
Yes, in Clairdex clause by clause, or in Word after export. Edits made in Clairdex keep the explanations and the legal basis of each clause.
Are the documents available in French and German?
Yes. A contract can be generated in all three languages from the same answers. For a bilingual signature, the authoritative version is indicated.
