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.
