We provide you with comprehensive support in resolving construction law disputes – both before state courts and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings. Our experienced lawyers are frequently appointed as mediators and arbitrators and regularly contribute their construction law expertise as party representatives in conciliation and arbitration proceedings.
We have extensive experience in various forms of alternative dispute resolution, in particular
- Conciliation proceedings in accordance with VSS standard 41 510;
- Arbitration proceedings in accordance with Swiss Rules, ICC Rules and SIA Standard 150;
- Construction law-specific ad hoc conciliation and arbitration proceedings.
The autonomy of the parties in alternative dispute resolution procedures enables optimal adaptation to the special features of construction disputes, in particular
- Appointment of technical experts to the conciliation body and the arbitration tribunal;
- Multi-stage dispute resolution procedure, if necessary with conciliation or urgent declaratory proceedings during construction;
- Extended powers of the arbitration tribunal to determine the facts of the case with reduced requirements for the parties’ submissions.
We have been a member of the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA) since 2024. This underlines our expertise in the field of alternative dispute resolution and enables us to exchange ideas with leading experts.
