Just plain talk.<\/h2><\/div>

DUFOUR was founded in 1991 and now ranks among Switzerland\u2019s prestigious and successful law firms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

From the very beginning, our goal has been to offer our clients more than legal advice alone.

The DUFOUR model and its 10 maxims<\/h4><\/div>

In der Regel tragen Anwaltskanzleien den Namen ihrer Partner. Unsere Kanzlei heisst DUFOUR Advokatur AG \u2013 ganz einfach, weil wir an der Dufourstrasse, mitten im Herzen von Basel unseren Sitz haben.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aber es gibt noch einen weiteren Grund: Bei der Formulierung unserer Philosophie haben wir bei unserem Namensgeber Guillaume-Henri Dufour, General, Ingenieur, Kartograph, Mitbegr\u00fcnder des Roten Kreuzes und Sch\u00f6pfer der Schweizer Flagge, einige Gedanken gefunden, die wir in unser \u201eDUFOUR-Modell\u201c eingebracht haben.<\/p>\n

Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit, Kreativit\u00e4t, Kooperation, Offenheit, Zielstrebigkeit, Engagement, Kompetenz, Effizienz, Erfahrung und Aufmerksamkeit \u2013 das sind die 10 Maximen des DUFOUR-Modells, die f\u00fcr uns bei unserer Arbeit f\u00fcr und mit unseren Mandant:Innen bindend und wegweisend sind.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
