I'm having some issues with my letting agency and need to seek legal advice. Can anyone recommend an Anwalt in the Basel area who is an expert in tenancy contracts? Thanks in advance

Tenant's association who will have a team of lawyers who have day-to-day experience handling tenancy disputes/contracts.

I agree with Summerrain, go to the tenants' protection first,

Do you find it strange when people join us first when they have a problem?

Generally in CH most Anwalts do a bit of everything & not really specialised. The country is small enough but they are also restricted to canton as well.
