Growth & Capital · 📜 Lawyer / Notary

Every company event in the SHAB was created by a legal act. Or needs one next.

Eine Kapitalerhöhung erfordert notariell beurkundete Beschlüsse. Ein Führungswechsel löst Mandatsverträge aus. Eine Sitzverlegung kann kantonale Registrierungspflichten und Mietverpflichtungen berühren. Das SHAB kündigt keine Chancen an – es kündigt laufende Rechtsgeschäfte an. Anwälte und Notare, die diese Einträge am ersten Tag sehen, positionieren sich, bevor der Mandant jemanden angerufen hat.

The timing advantage

Be the first to know. Be the first to call.

Legal mandates are rarely put to tender. The firm that calls first with relevant expertise almost always gets the instruction. SHAB filings tell you exactly which company just created a legal need — and what kind.

1
The filing is the trigger, not the outcome
Eine SHAB-Publikation hält nichts Abgeschlossenes fest – sie hält etwas fest, das gerade begonnen hat. Eine Kapitalerhöhungsmeldung bedeutet, dass das Unternehmen mitten im Prozess ist: Gesellschafterbeschlüsse entworfen, Statuten werden geändert, Bankbestätigungen ausstehend. Es gibt aktive rechtliche Arbeit, bei der man assistieren oder die man prüfen kann.
2
Mandates go to the first credible voice
Swiss companies rarely run competitive pitches for legal counsel on routine corporate events. They call the lawyer who called them. If you reach out within days of a SHAB filing with a specific, relevant observation, you are not cold-calling — you are demonstrating competence at exactly the right moment.
3
One event often precedes another
Eine neue Eintragung bedeutet heute oft, dass innerhalb von Wochen Gesellschafterverträge aufgesetzt, IP-Übertragungen und Arbeitsverträge abgeschlossen werden. Ein Führungswechsel kann einen Management-Buyout, eine Haftungsprüfung für Verwaltungsräte oder Nachfolgeplanung auslösen. Das Unternehmen, das heute im SHAB erscheint, hat eine juristische Pipeline dahinter — und du kannst Teil davon sein.
Your signals

Which SHAB events matter for Lawyer / Notary

Not every SHAB event carries equal legal weight. These five signals have the highest density of immediate legal work — filings that either required legal counsel to execute or will require it to resolve.

🆕 New Registration
HIGH SIGNAL
Eine neue AG oder GmbH bedeutet, dass Statuten eingereicht wurden — aber dort endet die juristische Arbeit selten. Aktionärsvereinbarungen, IP-Übertragungen, Arbeitsverträge für Gründer und Beschlüsse des Verwaltungsrats sind fast immer noch ausstehend. Neugründungen sind einer der ergiebigsten Einstiegspunkte für eine Beziehung als Unternehmensanwalt.
✏️ Rebrand
HIGH SIGNAL
Eine Firmenumbenennung erfordert ausserordentliche Generalversammlungsbeschlüsse, notariell beglaubigte Statutenänderungen und aktualisierte Handelsregistereintragungen. Die markenrechtlichen Implikationen allein — die Prüfung des neuen Namens gegen IPI-Eintragungen sowie die Koordination von Domain- und Markenschutz — schaffen unmittelbaren Beratungsbedarf für Anwälte mit IP-Kenntnissen.
📍 Relocation
HIGH SIGNAL
Cross-cantonal moves involve more than a change of address. Domicile agreements with the new canton, lease obligations in the old location, employment law implications for employees, and registration updates at the new cantonal registry all create discrete legal tasks. Companies often underestimate this complexity until they're mid-move.
💰 Capital Increase
HIGH SIGNAL
Raising capital requires notarised shareholder resolutions, updated articles of association, and — if new investors are involved — subscription agreements, anti-dilution provisions, and updated shareholder registers. This is directly notarial and corporate counsel territory. A filing in the SHAB is often the first public signal that a round just closed.
👤 Leadership Change
HIGH SIGNAL
New directors need signing authority agreements and updated commercial register entries. Departing directors may have non-compete or confidentiality obligations that need review. If the change is at board level, director liability issues — particularly under OR 716a — are worth examining. Leadership transitions are frequently the catalyst for a broader legal audit.
Real scenario
Capital Increase — Vantage Holding AG, Geneva — Day 1 vs Day 30

Eine Holdinggesellschaft in Geneva schliesst eine Kapitalerhöhung ab. Das SHAB verzeichnet sie am nächsten Morgen. Was als Nächstes passiert, hängt ganz davon ab, wann du es siehst.

8:04 AM
The SHAB publishes. Capital increase for Vantage Holding AG, Geneva. New share capital registered at CHF 2.4M.
8:15 AM
Your Founders & Movers brief lands. Lawyer / Notary score: 94. AI angle attached: new share structure may involve preference terms requiring formal documentation before shareholder register update.
9:30 AM
You reach out within days of the filing. The company is actively in motion — statute changes, new directors, new capital. You offer specific expertise relevant to what just happened.
Day 30
They've retained another lawyer who positioned themselves as the expert in what just happened. Mandates go to the first credible voice.
Why the window closes

Day 1 vs Day 30 — the difference is the deal

Early mover
Day 1 — You call today
  • The company is mid-process — shareholder resolutions, article amendments, register updates still happening. There is work to assist with right now.
  • You reference the specific filing with a precise legal observation. You aren't prospecting — you're demonstrating expertise they need at this exact moment.
  • No other firm has called yet. You are the first credible legal voice they hear after the event.
  • Even if they have existing counsel, you open a conversation about a gap — anti-dilution provisions, IP implications, cross-cantonal registration — that their current adviser may not have flagged.
Too late
Day 30 — You call next month
  • The capital increase is complete. The notarised documents are signed. The register has been updated. The mandate is closed.
  • If there were gaps in documentation — preference terms, anti-dilution clauses — another lawyer found them and was retained to fix them.
  • The company now has a relationship with whoever called first. You are a cold pitch competing against an incumbent.
  • The legal pipeline that follows a capital raise — new employment agreements, IP structuring, next-round preparation — is already assigned.
Reach out with reason

Not 'I help companies like yours.' A specific reason to call.

SHAB events give you a real, specific, verifiable reason to reach out. That changes the conversation from cold outreach to warm intelligence. The difference between being ignored and being retained often comes down to one sentence: why you're calling this company, today.

❌ Generic cold outreach
Subject: Legal services for your company

Hi,

I specialise in Swiss corporate and commercial law. If you have any legal questions or ongoing matters, I'd be happy to help. Feel free to reach out.

Best regards
✅ SHAB-triggered with AI angle
Subject: Vantage Holding AG — capital increase, one shareholder agreement note

Noticed Vantage Holding AG completed a capital increase in Geneva last week. If the new share structure involved any preference terms or anti-dilution provisions, these are worth documenting formally before the shareholder register is updated. Happy to do a 20-minute review of what's already in place. No charge for the first call.
