The story that led Carine Jendly-Richoz to Legal.fact started when she was 10 years old. A lawyer spoke to her about his work, and she was fascinated. The conversation awoke a desire to make the law her profession, and she never looked back. <\/p>\n

She has always been highly empathetic and keen to listen, and cannot stand by when she sees injustice. When someone\u2019s having difficulties, she goes into battle mode. She\u2019s interested in people\u2019s individual stories and is particularly fond of negotiating and developing defence strategies. She\u2019s not a fan of routines either. <\/p>\n

Her path to the law took her to the \u00c9cole de Commerce secondary school in Neuch\u00e2tel (now known as the Lyc\u00e9e Jean-Piaget), where she chose options in economics and law, confirming her decision to become a lawyer. After that came a university degree in law, with specialisations in civil and tax law. She spent her third year in Zurich studying Swiss and international tax law. After graduating, she started her training contract at the law firm of Beno\u00eet Ribaux. She loved it, and was determined that one day she would start a firm of her own. After qualifying, she began her career working as a legal advisor in Neuch\u00e2tel canton\u2019s tax department. This was an invaluable experience, allowing her to gain in-depth tax knowledge, find out how the department works from the inside and hone her negotiation and dispute resolution skills. However, she never gave up the 10-year-old Carine\u2019s dream of practising at the bar. <\/p>\n

So in 2004 Carine Jendly-Richoz finally became a fully-fledged self-employed lawyer. She also acts as a substitute judge in the Neuch\u00e2tel tax court, represents landlords as part of the cantonal mediation service and is Chair of the Canton\u2019s occupational therapy centre. She is also an active member of several non-profit organisations. <\/p>\n

For Carine, every client is important. She listens, seeking to understand without judging, and acts in the client\u2019s best interest, confident that there\u2019s always a solution. She\u2019s a straight-talker, so clients know where they stand and what their options are. She\u2019s fully committed to her cases and leaves no stone unturned. Helping clients is her life\u2019s work. <\/p>\n

Carine has a passion for tax law and contracts, while also specialising in family and matrimonial law as well as inheritance law, areas that allow her to draw on her strong interpersonal skills and empathy. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As a child, G\u00e9raldine Veya was curious and loved exploring all kinds of nooks, crannies, valleys and hills. She wanted to be either an archaeologist, a surgeon or a lawyer: people who research, investigate, delve deep into their subjects. She\u2019s always liked unpacking what makes people tick, what stirs their emotions: the outbursts, excesses and urges that cause people to act or react, to make mistakes and to forgive. She tries to understand what makes us human. She doesn\u2019t shy away from confronting the fears and influences that sometimes cause us to stray from the straight and narrow. <\/p>\n

A devotee of Jacques Verg\u00e8s, Zweig and Tolstoy, G\u00e9raldine won the history prize in her final year at Neuch\u00e2tel\u2019s Lyc\u00e9e Denis-de-Rougemont secondary school.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a maverick who always tries to make sure she acts in accordance with her values. Never submissive, she wants to break the mould and fight injustice, unconcerned about what others may think. <\/p>\n

The story that led her to Legal.fact includes a year spent studying European, international and competition law in Florence. While at university there, she encountered different cultures and spent many hours looking around the city\u2019s museums and history-filled streets. During her time in Florence, she also acquired a keen interest in the law of art, which combines two of her main passions. <\/p>\n

Over the next few years, she worked at two leading business law firms: Python Peter Schifferli et Associ\u00e9s in Lausanne and ZPG Avocats in Geneva. She loved the excitement and urgency of dealing with legal matters that simply cannot wait. It was during that time that she was drawn to business and commercial law, the drafting of domestic and international contracts, negotiation and litigation strategy. She sometimes worked together with other firms in Switzerland and abroad, and greatly enjoyed the deep thinking, dedication and commitment her work required. She helped and guided many businesses at all stages of their journey, from start-up, through development and restructuring, to buy-out. She has extensive experience in company law disputes and regularly advises businesses in proceedings involving executives, directors and shareholders. She is a member of several non-profit organisations. <\/p>\n

G\u00e9raldine is also passionate about criminal law and white-collar crime: she defends liberty in all its forms, seeking to enable everyone to challenge allegations and have their voices heard, while accepting their occasional inconsistencies in an unforgiving world.<\/p>\n

She is a keen proponent of the adversarial principle, and has a deep-rooted aversion to injustice. G\u00e9raldine Veya loves to help people understand the truth about her imperfect clients, where they\u2019ve come from, their backgrounds. She seeks to capture her clients\u2019 humanity, with sincerity and without judging or prejudging them. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Marc comes from La Neuveville in Bern Canton, and the story that led him to Legal.fact includes Neuch\u00e2tel\u2019s Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure de Commerce secondary school (now the Lyc\u00e9e Jean-Piaget) and then the University of Neuch\u00e2tel. After obtaining his law degree, it was during his training contract that he developed a real taste for advising clients and representing both individuals and businesses in cantonal and federal courts, working on civil, criminal and administrative cases, all the while focusing on the people involved in them. <\/p>\n

Marc qualified as a lawyer in 2008. His practice is broad, with particular specialisms in contract law (sales agreements, contracts for work and services, agency contracts, real-estate leases and employment contracts), criminal law, road traffic cases, insurance (social and civil liability insurance, including medical) and data protection. <\/p>\n

As well as his practice at the bar, Marc works for various judicial and administrative authorities, including as a substitute judge in the Fribourg cantonal court and the Vaud neutral court, Vice-Chair of Fribourg\u2019s land registry appeals committee (part of the Fribourg cantonal court), a member of the Swiss federal commission for quality assurance in medical reports (COQEM), a substitute member of the University of Neuch\u00e2tel\u2019s appeals committee and a substitute member of Neuch\u00e2tel Canton\u2019s Conseil de la Magistrature (supervisory body for judges). Alongside his work as a lawyer and as part of his mandatory military service, he is an officer in the general staff of the Swiss army and a former commander of Mechanised Battalion 17, roles that have given him has expertise in planning and leading projects as well as strong management skills. <\/p>\n

Paradoxically, Marc is not a big fan of rules, or at least he doesn\u2019t like following them blindly. He seeks to understand situations and decide on the best path ahead, and he applies the same principle with his clients. Marc is reliable, effective and pragmatic, and leads each client towards the right solution. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Loussine Incici\u2019s story started in Neuch\u00e2tel, the place of her birth and her home. She completed all of her education in this city, for which she holds deep affection. Towards the end of secondary school she focused on economics and law, and this naturally led her to study law at university. The law has always fascinated her, since it appeals to her natural curiosity. Her calling became clearer in her third year as an undergraduate, when she discovered the areas of law that still excite her today: the nuances and subtleties of social law, particularly employment law,<\/p>\n

particularly employment law, landlord and tenant law and social insurance law. Loussine\u2019s story then led her to a master\u2019s degree in social law in Salzburg, Austria, which was a very rewarding international experience After obtaining her master\u2019s, she began a training contract in a law firm in the Neuch\u00e2tel region. She developed her skills with a role as a clerk and registrar in the Littoral and Val-de-Travers district court in Boudry. These varied roles strengthened her deep desire to become a lawyer practising at the bar.<\/p>\n

Her story at Legal.fact began in April 2023, when she joined as a trainee lawyer. She qualified in December 2023 and became an associate at the firm, continuing to work with determination and passion.<\/p>\n

Loussine now practises in various areas of the law, working closely with Legal.fact\u2019s partners. She is still fascinated by contract law and criminal law, but also works tirelessly for clients in the field of family law. Her natural empathy is one of her main qualities: Loussine listens carefully, and is always frank with her clients.<\/p>\n

Her personality drives her to give her best at all times and pay close attention to detail. Her determination, commitment and rigorous approach make her a skilled and devoted lawyer, always ready to advise clients and defend their interests. Her story means that she takes a modern approach to helping clients with their legal matters.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
