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.
Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy after the COVID-19 Crises

knowledge about Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Proceedings in
Switzerland and China.
