Duties of the Board of Directors During the COVID-19 Crises – Are They Different Than in Any Other Crisis?

The strategic and financial overall management of a Swiss company is a non-transferable and inalienable duty of the board of directors. In times of crisis, liquidity and threatening over-indebtedness should become a primary focus of the board of directors. Special considerations must be taken by the board of directors of a Swiss subsidiary belonging to a (foreign) group of companies. Lukas Zuest from Vischer AG will explain the board of director's duties during a crisis and to what extent the legal situation is different in the current COVID-19 crisis.
