Swiss Arbitration Law

Swiss Arbitration Law governs how disputes are resolved outside courts through arbitration, a private process where parties agree to settle disagreements with an impartial arbitrator or panel. Enacted under the Swiss Federal Statute on Private International Law (LP) and the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, it ensures neutrality, confidentiality, and enforceability of awards. The law facilitates efficient, flexible dispute resolution recognized internationally, making Switzerland a popular seat for arbitration. It covers procedures, the appointment of arbitrators, and the recognition and enforcement of arbitration agreements and awards, providing a reliable legal framework for resolving disputes across borders.
