The Client Authorization Form is a fundamental legal instrument used in Swiss business and professional practice to establish clear authorization parameters between a principal and their representative(s). This document is essential when a client needs to delegate authority for specific actions or decisions, whether for business, financial, or personal matters. The form must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and data protection laws. It is commonly used in financial services, legal representation, and business transactions where formal delegation of authority is necessary. The document typically includes detailed information about both parties, specific powers granted, duration of authority, revocation rights, and data protection provisions. For certain sectors, particularly financial services, additional regulatory requirements under FinSA may need to be incorporated.
