Switzerland occupies a pivotal position in international trade, with its traders, banks and charterers at the heart of global commerce. This session will address the complexities of choice of law in cross border transactions—Swiss or English law, that is the question—and related implications.

We will also examine the far-reaching impact of sanctions imposed by the US, UK, EU, Switzerland, Canada and Australia, exploring how these measures shape the dynamics of international trade and what developments might lie ahead.

Panellists will offer insights into the unique role of Swiss law and Switzerland as a hub for international trade, equipping participants with the knowledge to navigate this complex landscape effectively.
