Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters
In this guide, Marcel Frey, Martin Heisch, Raphael Märki and Mohamed Hasnaoui address 25 key questions on the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters in Switzerland, detailing inter alia the legal basis on which parties may rely (bilateral or multilateral agreements, statutory law) to obtain recognition of foreign judgments, the formal requirements and procedural steps required to domesticate overseas rulings. They discuss possible hurdles to recognition (public order reasons) and venture a look into what the future might hold, with a specific view to the establishment of the Zurich International Commercial Court, which is due to take up its work in 2027 and offers overseas litigants new opportunities in Switzerland.

Private Clients
Wealthy private individuals are not simply a homogeneous target group, but personalities with their own life plan. No life is the same as another. Each one is complex. To enable our clients to focus on the things that matter to them, we advise them in connection with the preservation, administration and transfer of their assets during and beyond their lifetime. We have a long tradition of working in this field and for us it implies a partnership based on stability and mutual trust.
