Banking disputes, only where the fraud file ran through a bank
This is not a mortgage practice, not a card-terms practice, and not a promise that your bank is liable. It is the payment rail inside a scam file.
Swiss lawyers handling international banking disputes
Swiss lawyers handling international banking disputes is broader than this desk. We handle the banking piece of a fraud file: the transfer, the card payment, or the statement that shows where the money went. We do not take ordinary banking disputes, account-fee quarrels, or lending cases.
Legal assistance with unauthorized bank transfers
Legal assistance with unauthorized bank transfers starts by separating two facts. Unauthorized means someone moved the money without your authority. A payment you approved, because a platform or a correspondent told you to approve it, is authorised even when the recipient was a scammer. Both can be sent for review. They are not the same claim, and neither is a promised refund.
Lawyers pursuing claims against financial institutions
Lawyers pursuing claims against financial institutions, as a slogan, is not this practice. A claim against an institution is looked at only where the fraud file supports one. We do not advertise that banks are liable. We do not tell you to skip the bank's own complaint process. A report to the bank, and a local police report, still matter, and neither one is a freeze of coins abroad.
Legal recovery of funds from unauthorized transactions
Legal recovery of funds from unauthorized transactions depends on the bank's rules, the timing, and whether a court can still reach anything. We can read the letters and the trail. We cannot promise a reversal. If the transaction was one you authorised to a fraudulent platform, say that in the note. Hiding it does not help the file.
International banking dispute resolution lawyers
International banking dispute resolution lawyers suggests a mediation brand. We do not offer one. International, here, means a client outside Switzerland and a payment that crossed a border on the way into a scam. Resolution, if it happens, is a court order, a bank decision under its own rules, or a settlement that is in writing. It is not a chat.
Legal representation for victims of financial misconduct
Legal representation for victims of financial misconduct means representation, after a written mandate, where the misconduct is the fraud under review. It does not mean we have decided a bank or a broker committed misconduct before the papers are read. Financial misconduct by a scammer is the usual file. Misconduct by an institution is a separate allegation and has to be earned by the documents.
Financial institution liability and enforcement lawyers
Financial institution liability and enforcement lawyers overstates this practice. We are not a firm built to sue banks, and we do not offer enforcement against an institution as a product. Where coins already left for a wallet, civil tracing may still be the relevant question, and the bank may have nothing left to reverse. That is fund recovery and cryptocurrency fraud, not a second promise in a different heading.
The form is an enquiry, not a retainer and not a privileged file. Recovery is not guaranteed. Countries we cannot take, and the sanctions screen, are in the terms. Counsel is Sascha Christener, Bern, February 2018. The register test is here.
Questions on this page
Only a fraud file is read, and only where the facts support a claim. Many payments a client authorised to a scammer are not reimbursed by the bank. We do not promise liability, and we do not offer a general practice of suing financial institutions.
A transfer you did not authorise is a different fact from a transfer you sent because a scammer told you to. Bring the bank letters either way. Do not assume both are refunded.
Generally no. Authorised push payment rules do not treat coins that have already left for a wallet as a reimbursable bank payment. See AXT News, September 2026.
Report a case
Name, email and phone are required. A short account of the scam is enough. Do not send seed phrases, private keys, or identity documents.
Counsel is admitted in Bern and replies in English. A Swiss court is asked when that order can reach the coins. Where it cannot, a local lawyer files. The evaluation is free and nothing is due up front. The success fee is agreed in writing for that case. If nothing is recovered, you owe no fee. Sending this form opens an enquiry. It does not retain counsel.
