Swiss Innovative Law Firm
OA Legal is a Geneva based law firm driven by an entrepreneurial spirit
providing tailor-made legal services. We are committed to provide
the highest level of legal services while having a positive social impact.
This is the reason why OA Legal has been in the process of obtaining a B Corp certification from leading global sustainability non-profit B Lab, in recognition of its corporate sustainability practices.
The B Corp certification is one of the world’s most advanced ratings for corporate sustainability. Becoming a ‘B Corp’ involves a rigorous assessment of a company’s environmental and social performance and governance. It measures how companies manage its people, environmental footprint, products, suppliers and the communities with whom they interact.
OA Legal acts as the Registration Authority Agency for Swisscom and is responsible for the identification process of clients in order to provide them with QES under Swiss law. The QES client onboarding and identification can be made on site at OA Legal premises or by video identification.
By using QES, OA Legal ensures legal security and authentication of the signatures, eliminates paperwork overload, reduces costs of registered mail and facilitates for the clients the signature of documents by signing instantly with their mobile phone.
As of today, it is possible in Geneva to communicate with most of the important courts and authorities in criminal and civil proceedings, but with the upcoming Justitia 4.0 project, this process will be generalized for all authorities.
OA Legal provides clients with Electronic Qualified Signature and manages for clients electronic submissions to authorities and courts via certified delivery platforms which ease the access to justice.
- Dedicated portal for clients with private login to easily share digital documents.
- Notification push on client’s mobile phone.
- Qualified Electronic Signature Onboarding.
- Automatic tracks modifications to documents and metadata.
- Check-in and check-out features ensure information integrity and streamline collaboration.

Under Swiss law, shareholders have an inherent right to attend the meeting in person. In light of the ban to meet in person, the Swiss government had therefore granted a number of relaxations. The most important one was to allow shareholders to exercise their rights exclusively in writing, electronically or via an independent representative designated by the company for the holding of the general assembly.
OA Legal SA is the first Swiss Law Firm that has been fully digitally incorporated within the Geneva Commercial Register by holding remotely the incorporating meeting via videoconference before the public notary and using electronic qualified signature in accordance with art. 27 of the COVID-2019 Ordinance 3
