International Arbitration in Switzerland

This «nutshell» - book illustrates the current legal situation of international arbitration in Switzerland by presenting the legal environment through references to important rules for arbitration in Switzerland (in particular the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce ICC and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules) and illustrating figures. The structure of the book follows a well-established pattern, beginning with the basics of the arbitration agreement, the course of arbitral proceedings up to the arbitral award and its recognition and enforcement in Switzerland and abroad. The authors’ goal is to provide a pragmatic introduction to international arbitration in Switzerland. The book is therefore addressed to practitioners, with or without a background in law as well as to law students.
