Switzerland’s Cartel Act reform: new era for competition law and private enforcement
Bernhard Lauterburg discusses the recent revision of the Swiss Cartels Act, which is expected to come into force in the second half of 2027. In addition to amendments concerning merger control and the assessment of anti-competitive agreements, the revision brings important changes to civil antitrust litigation, such as an expansion of legal standing and the interruption of the statute of limitations during COMCO investigations.

IP & IT
Innovation ensures growth: that’s what every export-oriented SME, every large multi-national company experiences. Unfortunately, all too often successful research and development attracts imitators who copy innovations illegally thereby saving the costs associated with their production – to the detriment of the inventor. We advise public and private companies on media and intellectual property issues, draft contracts and manage litigation. We also have plenty of experience in the licensing of rights to films and sports broadcasts. Another focus of our activities is information technology (IT) law.
