Revision of Swiss company law

On November 23, 2016, the Federal Council submitted to the Parliament a draft bill of law aiming at modernizing Swiss company law. Such revision mainly covers the achievement of flexibility on incorporation and capital rules, the strengthening of shareholders’ rights, the remuneration and gender equality for executives in listed companies and transparency regarding financial flows in the raw materials sector. The present Newsletter aims at presenting the context of such revision as well as the main amendments  entailed in the draft bill of law submitted to the Parliament.
