For many years, Switzerland has been one of the most preferred venues for hosting cross-border arbitrations. Many international businesses, including Russian ones, tested it in thousands of contracts, international litigation and arbitration proceedings. The Swiss legal system is recognised as predictable, well-balanced, neutral, and arbitration-friendly. Russia is developing its arbitration laws too, and some significant changes are to follow very soon. In the coming years business will have to adapt to these changes, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by these new challenges. 

In this context, CMS Russia has the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar on 29 June 2016 organised in collaboration with CMS Switzerland. The participation is free of charge.

The programme will cover the following topics: 

• General Overview of the Swiss Court System
• Enforcing Claims in Switzerland:
  — Asset freezing and debt enforcement in Switzerland 
  — Enforcing foreign state court decisions in Switzerland
  — Enforcing foreign arbitral awards in Switzerland
• New Russian Law on Arbitration
