Switzerland is one of the world’s leading arbitration centers. Among other Conventions, Switzerland has signed and ratified the New York Convention which applies to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and the referral by a court to arbitration. At a legislative Level, international arbitration proceedings are governed in the 12th Chapter of the Swiss Private International Law Act (PILA; the so-called Swiss lex arbitri).
Switzerland’s neutrality, its cultural diversity (with four national languages – German, French, Italian and Romansh) and the quality and integrity of its legal system are among the reasons why Switzerland is one of the world’s leading arbitration centers. Most arbitration proceedings are conducted in Zurich (in the German-speaking part) and Geneva (in the French-speaking part). Furthermore, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) located in Lausanne handles sports-related disputes.
