Extraordinary termination of the mandate
In principle, a client-lawyer relationship may be terminated at any time without notice. However, it is not possible to terminate the mandate relationship untimely. This means, for example, that a lawyer cannot resign from his mandate two days before the court hearing, so that the client has no possibility to find a replacement.
The lawyer can terminate the mandate if the client does not pay his fee. If there is a conflict of interest, a lawyer must by law terminate the mandate relationship.
Ordinary termination of the mandate
The mandate ends ordinarily when the case is settled.
Case closure upon termination of the mandate
To close the case, you will be contacted by Spühler Attorneys at Law with an appropriate notice to clarify the last questions and to officially close the case. Please note that if your case was financed by an insurance company or by the state, you will have to pay for the legal fees yourself after the case is closed.
