Switzerland: Contracts and Commercial Law

Switzerland has spent the past decade building one of the world's most advanced legal environments for financial technology. The very features that attract fintech and blockchain ventures – early regulatory clarity, the DLT framework, a dense financial infrastructure and a strongly international client base – are now generating a steady stream of disputes of considerable legal and technical complexity. Such disputes arise from payment services, digital banking, lending platforms, crypto-assets and custody arrangements, outsourcing relationships, cybersecurity incidents and regulatory enforcement.

Construction delay disputes become particularly complex when employer-risk and contractor-risk events overlap, creating what is known as concurrent delay.
