The Office Team consists of all employed team members. We ensure that someone is available in case of urgency and we can jump in in an emergency. Reach out to us individually or send an email to office@asylex.ch!
If you get mail from authorities or clients, it will arrive at our office, the team will scan it, save it on Zenobis and inform you immediately.
Even though you can get all your work done remotely, you can visit us at the office any time. Also if you need to get something printed or if you want to hold a client meeting (exceptionally) in person, you can do this at our office!
