Managing a Swiss Subsidiary




Thursday, March 21, 2024

08:00 - 10:30

VISCHER AG, Schützengasse 1, 8001 Zürich



Dear Sir or Madam,

We cordially invite you to participate in the VISCHER / SCCC Event, which will
be held on March 21, 2024. The forum is co-organized in collaboration of SCCC
and VISCHER AG.

When setting up a new business in Switzerland, many foreign investors do not
have a focus on corporate governance… until something happens!

The company cannot pay its invoices anymore, or a local manager entered into
agreement with severe consequences for the Swiss subsidiary that was not
approved by the board of directors.

That's when the headquarters gets nervous and starts asking questions, such as:
How could the local management have been better controlled? Can the members of
the board of directors become personally liable for debts of the Swiss
subsidiary? Can the shareholders become liable in case the Swiss subsidiary goes
bankrupt?

Our Swiss legal experts Christian Wyss and Ruben Masar will answer these and
many more questions. They will provide an overview of the responsibilities,
duties and rights of shareholders, board members and managers in a Swiss
company, and give you practical tips on how to effectively manage a Swiss
subsidiary.

Our Chinese legal expert Yao Qinqin will build the bridge to Chinese company law
and explain you the major differences between the Swiss and Chinese corporate
governance aspects.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at this year's Life Sciences Forum!
