Distinctive features of Swiss insolvency laws

Daniel Hayek and Mark Meili published the Swiss chapter in the latest edition of The Insolvency Review. In this chapter, the authors give an overview of the distinctive features of Swiss insolvency laws and explain which new duties arise for boards of directors according to the revised Swiss company law. Mr. Hayek and Mr. Meili also discuss what revisions have entered into force on 1 January 2025 in Switzerland and why they believe that the number of bankruptcies in Switzerland will increase in 2025.
