English Chinese


Against the backdrop of increased Chinese investment in Switzerland and the continuing interest in trading with and investing in China, the SCCC Legal Chapter offers a two-way bridge-building function as a centre of competence and change of Swiss and Chinese legal issues and developments. The SCCC Legal Chapter will tackle topical issues from both, the Swiss and the Chinese side as its Forum 2018. The Forum is well suited for lawyers, in-houselegal counsels, but also for these who are otherwise involved or interested in cross-border legal issues between China and Switzerland.

Please register by Thursday, June 13 (registration button at the bottom this page)

Substitutes for registered persons unable to attend are welcome, otherwise full no-show charge.
