LEXPLUS – the online legal database
Lexplus is an online tool that can be used to verify and check the conformity of an organization. The tool helps to document the procedures and evidence required by the standards (e.g. ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 45001).
Lexplus circuit
Would you like to ensure that your business complies with the law with as little effort as possible?
With its Lexplus tool, Neosys AG from Switzerland offers a simple and cost-effective solution for checking and documenting the legal compliance of your company.
Initial analysis
In order to determine the specific legal requirements of your company, our experts carry out a thorough personal analysis of your company. We will visit you and inspect your processes and infrastructure on site. You can benefit from the know-how of our many years of experience in legal analysis.
Creation of customer document
Based on the data collected, we create a customized document for you with all the legal requirements you need. This document includes all relevant provisions at federal, cantonal and communal level. State-of-the-art regulations, such as those of SUVA and VKF as well as relevant EU requirements, are also taken into account.
Update
The legal documentation must be maintained; we update your legal documentation once a year. In doing so, we enter the changes to the law in your Lexplus document that could have an impact on your company. If you wish, we can update it at shorter intervals. This ensures that your document is always up to date.
Reassessment
New processes? New location?
Or simply new needs? In the event of changes or from time to time (every 3-5 years), we recommend that our customers carry out a reassessment on site. This ensures that the legal documentation always corresponds to the conditions on site.
LC audit
Our experienced specialists carry out legal compliance audits with and on your premises. We check whether your procedure for assessing legal compliance is up-to-date, appropriate and suitable and whether the necessary evidence and authorizations are available.
Workshops on legal compliance
Would you like to deepen your knowledge of certain laws? Do you have questions or uncertainties about certain topics? Would you like to set up Lexplus for an efficient workflow?
We conduct customized training courses and workshops to anchor the know-how even better in your company.
Our fields of law
Our specialists offer you all legal services in a wide range of legal areas. Other fields can also be integrated after consultation.
