Funinsun,

do you have a legal insurance?

No...but I just wanted to check what would be the cost for a legal advise

Between 300 - 500 CHF/hour, I think.

Hi,

I work for a company that helps people look at thier options when it comes to  their 2nd pillar pensions when then leave Switzerland.

Feel free to give me a call to have a chat. No charge. 0223413422

Funinsun,

Mr. Hall's offer couldn't be kinder.

A little cynical Reka, especially if we havn't spoken before, I was actually being genuine. Contrary to popular belief there are actually some companies within the financial industry that are not purposely out to pull the wool over their clients eyes. I help international workers understand what is available to them whilst they are here in Switzertland, and what options they have when they leave. If they choose to act upon that information that is entirly up to them.

Apologies Reka if you were joking, but so many people think that we are all bad and it is simply not the case.

Reka,

I do understand your frustration, I have heard similar stories from our clients. It is frustrating when we get tarred with the same brush, in the same way that not all lawyers are "Ambulance Chasers".

I thank you for understanding that I was just trying to help, as a Swiss company operating solely in Switzerland for the Swiss international workforce we are much more than a one trick pony, our knowledge and services cover many aspects, and we genuinely help.

That being said, I wish you well and maybe in the future I will have the pleasure of working with you.

Best

James
