Litigation 2025 - Switzerland

Lexology Panoramic: Complex Commercial Litigation - Switzerland, October 2024 Journal Commercial litigation is, along with commercial arbitration, the most frequent method of resolving high-value, complex disputes in Switzerland. Commercial litigation represents the standard dispute resolution method in disputes where one or more parties are domiciled in Switzerland. The Swiss litigation landscape, particularly in the major centres such as Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne, exhibits an international character, in that, in many cases, one or more parties are domiciled or seated abroad. In addition, Swiss law is often chosen by internationally operating parties as a neutral and fair set of laws, with a corresponding forum selection clause in favour of Swiss courts.
