Handbuch Schweizer Aktienrecht

For all life stages of a corporation

The Handbook of Swiss Corporate Law takes into account the changes brought about by the revision of corporate law, which will come into effect on January 1, 2023. It is a valuable working tool for practitioners in the field of corporate law. It provides answers to questions that arise in legal practice for all life stages of a corporation (formation, management, restructuring, and termination). The doctrinal explanations are intentionally kept brief and clear. The practice-oriented handbook includes numerous commented checklists, templates, and examples. These sample documents are also available for download in electronic form with the purchase of the book. The new edition includes several new chapters, including those on protecting the company in marriage and inheritance law, transparency and due diligence obligations, as well as restructuring forms outside the merger law. Additionally, new sample templates for capital bands are included.
