The essentials of Swiss contract law - Episode 2: Interpretation of Contracts

In our blog and podcast series "The essentials of Swiss contract law", Christian Oetiker, Selim Keller and Pascal Burgunder of our Litigation and Arbitration team give a short and compact overview on the essential elements of Swiss contract law.

In the second part, Pascal Burgunder, in conversation with Mairi Weder-Gilles, explains the cornerstones of contract interpretation under Swiss law and provide guidance on how Swiss courts and lawyers approach the interpretation of contracts in practice, covering topics such as the intention of the parties, the wording, the context, and the interpretation of unclear terms.

To learn more about the interpretation of contracts under Swiss Law, also our blog post "The essentials of Swiss contract law: Interpretation of Contracts (no. 2)" on this topic.
