You can register for counselling by sending us an email. We ask you to send us the relevant documents.

• Consultations are offered in all areas of law except tax law. An information sheet on tax returns can be found on this page.
• In labour and tenancy law cases from the canton of Berne, we recommend the free legal advice of the conciliation board (Rechtsberatung der Schlichtungsbehörde)
• Please send the RBD the most relevant documents (decrees, contracts, official letters, receipts, etc.) in advance. You can attach them electronically to the registration form. Below you will also find the template for the disclaimer. Please sign it and enclose it with the registration form.
• Once we have received your documents, you will be contacted by the RBD by e-mail, usually within one working day.
• All relevant documents should also be brought to the consultation.
• The person seeking advice is responsible for filling out the scholarship forms themselves. Application forms for an education grant, including guidelines, are available at the Education Department of the Canton of Bern and at the SUB secretariat. It is required that the person seeking advice has already dealt with these documents in detail before seeking advice on a scholarship.
• If you have any further questions, the SUB's legal department can help you: gazmendi.noli@sub.unibe.ch
