Switzerland's Private International Law : Private International Law Statute, Lugano Convention and Related Legislation (2 Revised edition)

Although Switzerland's geographical location places it at the centre of the European Community, it stands alone as a neutral nation with separate legislation and policies which are not governed from Brussels.

With respect to its neutrality and the importance of its centralized location, it is imperative for those involved in European and international law to acquire a solid understanding of the laws which govern Switzerland to help find solutions to various international conflicts.

This text offers legal professionals an insight into current Swiss legislation regarding all phases of private law.

In addition to arbitration law, this publication addresses topics such as intellectual property, bankruptcy and composition, obligations, companies, marriage, parent-child relationships, guardianship and other protective measures, inheritance law, real rights, final provisions and Lugano Convention with annotations.
