Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in Switzerland?
We list 23, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Zurich, with 11 of the 23.
Is English unusual for lawyers in Switzerland?
88% of the 26 lawyers we hold in Switzerland are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
