Are contingency fees legal in Switzerland?

Not as a pure share of the result. Article 12(e) of the Federal Act on the Free Movement of Lawyers prohibits a pactum de quota litis. A success bonus on top of a fee that covers the lawyer's costs is allowed within limits set by the Federal Supreme Court, so ask how any bonus is calculated.
