    Following the Liquidation Decision of the Bankruptcy Court of Zug - What do Envion ICO and EVN Tokenholder investors need to do to have their claims recognised in the liquidation process?
    2019-01-28

    The Swiss court in Zug, the Handelsblatt, Trado GmbH, Bloomberg and a shareholder of Envion AG have now confirmed that the bankruptcy court of Zug decided to liquidate Envion AG on 14 November 2018.

    As already reported, the reason for initiating liquidation was that Envion AG did not appoint an auditor within the time limit set by the court. Envion AG therefore suffers from a so-called "lack of organs" which, according to Swiss law, leads to the liquidation of the company in the absence of remedy.

    Modernised Swiss regime for cross-border insolvencies
    2018-05-23

    Cross-border insolvencies are often complicated and time-consuming. In the regulated financial sector, significant efforts have already been made in Switzerland and internationally to streamline these processes and to facilitate cooperation between the relevant authorities across jurisdictions. Forthcoming changes to the Swiss Law on Private International Law (PILA) seek to modernise the general regime applicable in Switzerland to cross-border insolvencies outside of the regulated financial sector. The revised rules are expected to enter into force at some point in 2019.

    International Briefings: Civil attachment of aircraft
    2018-06-07

    The attachment of a debtor's assets is a very convenient tool for securing the recovery of an outstanding claim. Besides conventional assets, such as bank accounts or real estate, the creditor may also consider attaching more exotic items owned by the debtor: luxury cars, artworks or, why not, a private jet. We set out below the key requirements and certain practical aspects to consider when seeking the attachment of an aircraft located in Switzerland.

    The requirements for attaching an aircraft: two different routes
