SWITZERLAND: New arbitration rules for trust and succession disputes
The Swiss Arbitration Centre's new supplemental rules for trust, estate and foundation disputes are set to enter into force on 1 July 2025. They confirm that arbitration clauses in unilateral legal instruments such as wills, trust deeds and foundation statutes are, in principle, valid under Swiss law if the seat of arbitration is chosen to be in Switzerland. The rules will be available in English, German, French and Italian, accompanied by an explanatory note in each language, to provide a framework for resolving private wealth disputes even where assets or parties are spread across different countries.
