Global Law Experts is pleased to welcome Nicolas Bloque as an Exclusive Member for Civil Law in Switzerland. This appointment recognises his sustained practice in civil law, established regional presence in the Jura region and neighbouring cantons, and demonstrable experience in litigation and client advisory work.

As an Exclusive Member, Nicolas Bloque will add depth to the Global Law Experts network in core civil law disciplines and strengthen its ability to serve clients seeking legal counsel grounded in Switzerland’s civil law tradition and cantonal practice variations.

Background

Nicolas Bloque maintains a legal practice rooted in the civil law traditions of Switzerland, supported by professional standing within the cantonal bar and active involvement in both contentious and advisory matters. His work spans key civil law disciplines including contract law, civil liability, and succession law.

He has also represented clients in appellate proceedings before Switzerland’s federal courts, reflecting recognised courtroom experience and the ability to manage cases that progress to higher judicial levels.

In addition, his multilingual practice and familiarity with the procedural and substantive particularities of French-speaking and bilingual Swiss cantons reinforce his ability to act effectively in both domestic and cross-cantonal civil mandates.

The Firm: Etude Bloque

Etude Bloque is a client-focused law practice with a modern structure that emphasizes personalised service, pragmatic dispute resolution, and preventive legal counsel.

Based in Delémont in the Jura region, the firm operates across neighbouring cantons and is positioned to assist clients in a wide range of civil matters. Etude Bloque combines local knowledge of cantonal courts and administrative authorities with an approach designed to resolve disputes either through litigation when necessary or through negotiation and settlement where appropriate.

The firm operates with a strong commitment to professional ethics and diligence, delivering civil law services tailored to both individual and business clients.

Civil Practice

The Exclusive Member designation recognises Nicolas Bloque’s competence across a broad spectrum of civil law matters. His practice includes litigation, pre-litigation counselling, contract drafting and review, civil liability claims, succession and estate matters, tenancy disputes, and other areas governed by private law.

Clients benefit from a practice capable of:

• Handling civil litigation from initial pleadings through enforcement and appellate review

• Drafting and negotiating commercial and private contracts with attention to Swiss substantive law and cantonal particularities

• Managing civil liability claims including negligence, contractual breach, and insurance-related disputes

• Advising on succession planning and resolving estate-related disputes under Swiss succession law

• Addressing tenancy and property-related conflicts, including lease disputes and landlord-tenant rights

Together, these services represent a comprehensive civil practice capable of advising individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and organisations on matters governed by Swiss civil law. The Exclusive Member selection recognises not only individual case experience but also the ability to guide clients through complex legal matters and procedural processes across both cantonal and federal courts.

Regional and International Relevance

Switzerland’s legal system combines federal civil law principles with cantonal procedural variations. Based in Delémont and active across neighbouring cantons, Nicolas Bloque’s practice is well positioned to advise on matters requiring navigation between multiple cantonal jurisdictions or involving cross-cantonal enforcement.

His bilingual capabilities and regional reach support effective representation for French-speaking and bilingual clients while also facilitating coordination with legal professionals throughout Switzerland.

Although the primary focus remains civil law, the firm’s ability to manage matters that intersect with administrative processes or cross-border contractual relationships offers additional value to international clients seeking reliable guidance on Swiss civil law consequences, enforcement considerations, and dispute resolution strategies.

Why Nicolas Bloque Was Selected

The appointment of Nicolas Bloque as an Exclusive Member for Civil Law in Switzerland reflects verified professional credentials and clear indicators of professional standing.
