    Nouvelles dispositions du droit des sociétés à partir du 1er janvier 2025 : des règles claires contre le trading en gaine et l’opting-out rétroactif
    2025-09-23

    Depuis le 1er janvier 2025, de nouvelles dispositions du droit suisse des sociétés sont en vigueur, qui empêchent de manière ciblée les abus de faillite, interdisent le commerce d’enveloppes de sociétés surendettées (sociétés-écrans) et structurent plus clairement le droit de la révision. Avec l’introduction de l’article 684a CO et la révision de l’article 727a CO, le législateur fixe de nouvelles normes en matière de transparence et de protection des créanciers – et crée des règles claires pour les opting-outs et les transactions par enveloppe.

    Новые положения в законодательстве о компаниях с 1 января 2025 года: четкие правила против подставных компаний и ретроактивный отказ от участия
    2025-09-23

    С 1 января 2025 г. в швейцарском законодательстве о компаниях действуют новые положения, которые специально предотвращают злоупотребления при банкротстве, препятствуют торговле подставными компаниями с чрезмерной задолженностью и более четко структурируют аудиторское законодательство. Введя ст. 684a CO и пересмотрев ст. 727a CO, законодатель устанавливает новые стандарты прозрачности и защиты кредиторов, а также создает четкие правила для отказа от участия и сделок с подставными компаниями.
