The highly anticipated Legal 500 Investment Guide is now live, offering key insights into investment treaty arbitration across multiple jurisdictions. This authoritative resource is designed to help businesses, investors, and legal professionals navigate the complex landscape of international investment law.
Aceris Law is pleased to announce its contribution to the Switzerland chapter of the guide, where our team provides an in-depth analysis of Switzerland’s investment treaty arbitration framework. As a recognized leader in international arbitration, Aceris Law brings a wealth of experience and practical knowledge to this publication, helping investors and corporations understand their rights and obligations under Swiss law.
What You Will Find in the Switzerland Chapter
Switzerland has long been a favoured jurisdiction for investment arbitration due to its strong legal framework, neutrality, and arbitration-friendly policies. The chapter contributed by Aceris Law focuses on key aspects of investment arbitration, including:
- Switzerland’s Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs): A comprehensive overview of Switzerland’s extensive BIT network and the protections it offers to foreign investors.
- Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS): An analysis of Switzerland’s role in ISDS cases, including its arbitration-friendly policies and adherence to international treaties.
- Foreign Investment Regulation: No broad restrictions on foreign investment, except in sensitive sectors such as real estate, banking, and telecoms.
- Recognition and Enforcement of Arbitral Awards: Insights into Switzerland’s implementation of the New York Convention and its approach to enforcing foreign arbitral awards.
- Sovereign Immunity Issues: A restrictive approach – state assets used for commercial purposes can be subject to enforcement, but sovereign assets (e.g., central bank reserves) are protected.
- Recent Developments and Case Law: A review of significant investment arbitration cases involving Switzerland, highlighting emerging trends and legal interpretations.
Why Switzerland?
Switzerland is widely regarded as a premier hub for international dispute resolution. Its stable legal environment, impartial judiciary, and adherence to international treaties make it an attractive choice for international arbitration. Whether you are an investor seeking protection under BITs or a company involved in cross-border disputes, understanding the Swiss arbitration framework is crucial.
