  • WHY WE EXIST

    The law should be neither a luxury nor a privilege

    Everyone agrees that the law applies to all. In practice, asserting your rights is still reserved for those who know where to look and can afford to act.

    That is what SQRIB sets out to change.

    Two obstacles keep coming up: knowing what you are entitled to, and being able to claim it without spending a disproportionate amount of time and money.

    Information you cannot always rely on

    The internet made it possible to search for yourself, and AI has made the answers easier to find. But you still need to know the right question to ask — and nothing tells you how trustworthy the answer is.

    Partial or costly solutions

    Lawyers are expensive. Legal advice clinics and associations are specialised, and often open only to their members. Legal protection insurance does not cover everything, steps in after the fact, and only helps if you took out cover in advance.

    …and rights left unused

    When the stakes are small, or a lawyer seems over the top, people simply give up. This applies to several hundred thousand cases a year in Switzerland alone.

  • OUR APPROACH

    A new approach

    SQRIB offers a whole new way to approach the law. Innovative technology makes it fast and clear; our team and our network of hand-picked experts keep it deeply human.

    Simple and human.

    Our approach brings together two strengths that are usually set against each other: the speed of digital and the judgement of humans. The first opens the door; the second ensures what you get is worth having.

    The power of digital

    You describe your situation; SQRIB analyses it and answers in plain language. Every answer is accompanied by an indication of how reliable it is, and tells you whether you can act on your own or would be better off having it checked by an expert.

    Human experience and accountability

    A SQRIB Advisor can review the answer provided to you in order to rule out any obvious error. And when the stakes justify it, we can connect you with a lawyer, notary or tax specialist who advises you and takes professional responsibility for that advice — on the one question that concerns you, without going back over your entire case. These experts are selected for their skills and set their own fees; we suggest the ones suited to your situation, and you decide whether you want to continue with them or not.

Two founders, one mission

SQRIB grew out of different backgrounds, experiences and skills, brought together by a shared conviction: the law should be simpler, more accessible and more affordable. Our mission is to put that diversity to work for a new way of supporting everyone with their legal needs.
