    Haben Sie alle Einkäufe für das Jahresende erledigt? Sind Sie für Ihre wohlverdienten Ferien startbereit? Stopp! Eine allerletzte Pendenz muss in Ihre To-do-Liste aufgenommen werden…

    Wenn ein Gläubiger einen Schuldner betreibt und der Schuldner keine (genügenden) Vermögenswerte hat, um die Forderung des Gläubigers zu decken, stellt das Betreibungsamt bzw. das Konkursamt einen Verlustschein aus, in welchem festgehalten wird, dass die Forderung bzw. ein Teil der Forderung ungedeckt geblieben ist.

    Ein kleiner Schritt für den Menschen, ein (relativ) grosser Schritt für den unrechtmässig Betriebenen
    2017-01-23

    Zu Unrecht erhobene Betreibungen können für Privatpersonen und Gesellschaften zu schweren Konsequenzen führen: Banken z.B. können aufgrund eines Eintrags im Betreibungsregister eine Finanzierung verweigern und Vermieter Personen als potentielle Mieter ablehnen. Mit der geplanten Änderung gewisser Bestimmungen des SchKG will der Bund die Situation für den unrechtmässig Betriebenen endlich erleichtern.

    Foreign bank insolvency
    2017-10-12

    The worst economic disaster since the great depression of 1929 took American and European banks by storm in 2008. The US, European countries and Russia, among others, had to step in to save some of their banks from bankruptcy. Even certain German banks, symbols of the country's strength and prosperity, were on the verge of collapsing. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this briefing is to provide a highlevel summary of the mechanisms in place to cope with the bankruptcy of a foreign bank in Switzerland.

    Werden ausländische Urteile über Anfechtungsklagen in der Schweiz anerkannt?
    2017-12-07

    Anfechtungsklagen – Worum geht es?

    Schuldner können versucht sein, Vermögenswerte dem Zugriff durch eine mögliche Zwangsvollstreckung zu entziehen. Die Anfechtungsklage (auch "Pauliana" genannt) gibt der Konkursverwaltung, und unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen den Gläubigern, die Möglichkeit, solche Rechtshandlungen des Schuldners anzufechten. Bei Gutheissung der Klagen werden die Vermögenswerte der Zwangsvollstreckung zugeführt.

    Will foreign judgments on avoidance actions be recognized in Switzerland?
    2017-12-07

    Avoidance Actions – What are they?

    Debtors may be tempted to protect assets from access by a possible foreclosure. The avoidance action (also called "Pauliana") gives the bankruptcy administration, and under certain conditions the creditors, the opportunity to challenge such legal acts of the debtor. Upon approval of the actions, the assets will be foreclosed.

    Legal framework for group financings under Swiss law
    2017-12-13

    Although Switzerland recently decided to facilitate the financing activities of groups operating in or out of Switzerland by easing some restrictions under the Withholding Tax Ordinance, the rather stringent requirements regarding group financings according to corporate law, as well as the rules under banking law and bankruptcy law, remain the same.

    Key changes include:
