In Switzerland, a notary is a highly specialized legal professional and public officer authorized to authenticate documents, certify legal transactions, and provide impartial counsel. While all notaries are jurists (those holding a law degree), their specific role is distinct from that of a lawyer, whose primary duty is to represent and advocate for one party's interests.
