The Attorney Authorization Letter is a crucial legal instrument in Swiss legal practice, used when an individual or entity needs to formally delegate legal authority to a qualified attorney. This document is essential in situations requiring professional legal representation, whether for specific transactions, legal proceedings, or general legal matters. The authorization letter must comply with Swiss federal laws, including the Civil Code (ZGB) and Code of Obligations (OR), as well as cantonal regulations and Swiss Bar Association rules. It typically includes detailed identification of both parties, explicit enumeration of granted powers, duration of authority, and any specific limitations or conditions. The document may require notarization depending on its intended use and can be prepared in multiple languages, reflecting Switzerland's multilingual nature. This authorization is particularly important in cross-border matters, given Switzerland's position as an international business and financial center.
