Die Beiträge des 19. M&A-Seminars, welches vom Europainstitut an der Universität Zürich (EIZ) durchgeführt wurde, stehen nun in schriftlicher Form zur Verfügung. Die Präsentationen betreffen eine breite Palette von Themen, überwiegend solche mit Bezug auf privat gehaltene Aktiengesellschaften. Dazu gehören die bisher nicht behandelten Themen "Die Versicherung von Risiken aus Zusicherungen (‹Warranty Insurance›)" (Urs Schenker), "Umgang mit Compliance-Risiken im M&A-Prozess" (Severin Roelli) und "Schadloshaltung in M&A-Verträgen" (Rolf Watter). Alexander Vogel beleuchtet Unternehmensverkäufe in der Krise, und zwar sowohl aus Käufer- als auch aus Verkäufersicht. Daniel Daeniker untersucht M&A und Governance-Fragestellungen bei Familiengesellschaften, während Rudolf Tschäni/Hans-Jakob Diem die Handlungsspielräume der involvierten Parteien vor dem Hintergrund der neuesten Praxis der UEK zu Mindestpreis, Best Price Rule und Angebotspflicht erörtern. Die M&A-Seminare des EIZ sind die führenden Veranstaltungen in diesem Gebiet und unerlässliche Quelle für Praktiker.

Switzerland's New Corporate Sustainability Framework: What to Expect

Switzerland's New Corporate Sustainability Framework: What to Expect

<p>The Federal Council has published the consultation draft of the Federal Act on Sustainable Business Conduct ("<strong>SBCA</strong>"), Switzerland's proposed framework for corporate sustainability due diligence and reporting. Closely aligned with the post-Omnibus EU framework, the SBCA significantly narrows the scope of companies subject to sustainability reporting compared to current Swiss law, while introducing new due diligence obligations for large enterprises, and raising important questions on civil liability that remain unresolved. The consultation period runs until 9&nbsp;July 2026.</p>

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Simplification of the sustainability frameworks: Swiss and EU Updates

Legislators in Switzerland and the EU are taking significant steps to simplify their respective sustainability reporting and corporate sustainability due diligence frameworks. In the EU, the Omnibus package introduced immediate deferrals of certain deadlines and proposes substantive simplifications to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) which will also impact non-EU entities, such as Swiss companies. In parallel, the Swiss government has paused domestic sustainability reforms announcing that it will publish a proposal for an indirect counterproposal to the second responsible business initiative by end of March 2026, once the direction of EU reforms becomes clearer. In early December, SIX Swiss Exchange has suspended its voluntary sustainability reporting "opt-in" regime for issuers with effect from 1 January 2026.
