Book description

This book provides a systematic presentation of the most important commercial contracts under Swiss law, i.e., the contract of sale, the contract for work and services, the simple mandate contract, and the commercial agency contract, as well as the licence agreement, the exclusive distribution agreement, and the settlement agreement. The book also contains an in-depth introduction of the Swiss law of obligations, covering topics such as the fundamental principles of contract law, the obligation (as the effect of the contract), the formation of contracts, contract interpretation, validity of contracts, agency, general terms and conditions, and breach of contract. After English law, Swiss law is deemed to be the most attractive law applicable to the parties' contract in an international context. At the same time, English is usually chosen as the language of the arbitration proceedings. This book will therefore be an indispensable resource for all English-speaking lawyers interested in international commercial arbitration.

Reviews

‘Müller’s book is obviously a must-have for all those involved in disputes over contracts governed by Swiss law (arbitrators and counsel alike).’

Matthias Scherer - Editor in Chief of the ASA Bulletin

‘With his English-language presentation, Müller offers foreign arbitration practitioners in particular a concise and well-founded insight into the Swiss civil law system, which is so popular in arbitration proceedings. Thanks also to the support of Pearson-Wenger, the work appeals equally to civil and common law lawyers. This makes the work unique on the market. It is both an integral part and the key to the international success of Swiss contract law and greatly facilitates the understanding and handling of Swiss law for non-Swiss law trained lawyers - whether in connection with arbitration proceedings or not.’

‘By making Swiss contract law more accessible to a broader audience of international practitioners … the book will only further the popularity of Swiss substantive law to govern international commercial transactions. The reviewers, therefore, have no doubt that this book is a highly relevant and useful tool which fills an important void in the market, and congratulate Professor Christoph Müller and Sabrina Pearson-Wenger, on this impressive treatise.’
