An employment contract is ready for signature. A new remote work policy takes effect next week. A supplier sends over its terms and conditions, a business partner shares a non-disclosure agreement, and the finance team has a tax question.
These tasks often land on different desks. Someone needs to read the documents, identify the right questions and find the relevant Swiss legal provisions. Jurilo brings those steps together: upload a document, ask a question and let Jurilo take the document’s contents into account when analysing it.
That opens up many more possibilities than asking a general legal question in a chat.
For HR: Review Employment Contracts and Staff Policies
A company wants to update its standard employment contract. Instead of asking a general question about notice periods under Swiss employment law, HR can upload the existing contract and ask:
“Which clauses on termination, overtime and holidays should we review? Explain the legal basis and suggest clearer wording.”
The same approach works for a staff handbook or remote work policy. Jurilo can identify passages that raise questions, point out missing information and highlight issues to resolve before the policy takes effect. HR then has a structured basis for revising the document and discussing it with the people responsible.
For Management: Understand Contracts and Terms Before Signing
Before signing an agreement, you need to understand both what it says and how its clauses could affect day-to-day business.
Upload a service agreement, non-disclosure agreement (NDA) or a business partner’s terms and conditions. Then ask Jurilo:
“What obligations are we taking on? Where are the risks around liability, contract duration and termination? Which terms should we negotiate before signing?”
Jurilo can identify relevant passages and explain them in the context of the Swiss Code of Obligations. That helps turn a lengthy agreement into practical questions: What is unclear? What should we change? Which points need closer legal review?
For CFOs and Finance Teams: Put Tax Questions in Context
Tax questions often depend on the details of a particular transaction. With Jurilo Tax, finance teams can provide documents as context and ask targeted questions about the implications under Swiss federal and cantonal tax law.
For example:
“What tax questions arise from this proposed transaction? What information is missing for a reliable assessment, and which differences between federal and cantonal rules matter?”
This helps the team prepare the case, make assumptions visible and have a more focused discussion with its fiduciary or tax adviser.
For HR and Payroll: Clarify Social Insurance Questions
A change of employment, an extended absence or an unusual compensation arrangement can raise social insurance questions. A general answer may not be enough: the specific working arrangements and documents matter.
With a document uploaded, a team could ask:
“Which social insurance issues should we clarify for this arrangement? What further information do we need?”
Jurilo can help structure the question and point to relevant legal provisions. Where the outcome has financial consequences, the details of implementation should also be checked.
For Every Department: Review Company Policies Before Publication
Expense policies, bonus rules, remote work guidelines and confidentiality agreements should be clear and consistent with applicable law. Problems can arise from an ambiguous sentence or a rule whose practical consequences were overlooked.
A useful request to Jurilo might be:
“Review this policy for unclear wording and potential conflicts with Swiss law. Explain each issue and suggest more precise wording.”
The result is a working draft with reasoned comments that the responsible person can review and refine.
From Document to Decision
The value of a document-based question is its context. You do not have to compress a contract or policy into a few sentences and hope you have not left out a crucial detail. Jurilo can take the uploaded document into account and address your question using relevant Swiss legal sources.
A practical workflow is straightforward:
Upload a document: such as a contract, terms and conditions, a policy or an agreement.
State your goal: ask Jurilo to review, explain, compare or revise specific wording.
Request reasoning and sources: so you can follow how it reached its answer.
Explore open questions: ask what information is missing, where the risks lie and what to do next.
Make your decision: with a clearer basis and, where needed, specialist review.
Jurilo brings Swiss legal knowledge into everyday business work. Whether you work in HR, management, finance or tax, a document and a specific question can become a structured analysis your team can act on.
