[Webinar] Managing a Swiss Subsidiary - Responsibilities, duties and rights of shareholders, board members and managers in a Swiss company

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 to this webinar.

许多外国投资者在瑞士设立新公司时，并不注重公司治理......直到意外发生！

公司无法支付发票，或者当地经理签订了未经董事会批准的协议，这些情况都会给瑞士子公司带来严重后果。

这时，总部就会紧张起来，开始提出问题，例如：当地管理层如何才能做得更好？如何才能更好地控制当地管理层？董事会成员是否要对瑞士子公司的债务承担个人责任？如果瑞士子公司破产，股东是否要承担责任？

瑞士法律专家 Christian Wyss 和 Ruben Masar 将为您解答以上问题。他们将概述瑞士公司股东、董事会成员和经理的责任、义务和权利，并为您提供如何有效管理瑞士子公司的实用技巧。

此外，中国法律专家Qinqin Yao将为您搭建通往中国公司法的桥梁，并向您解释瑞士和中国在公司治理方面的主要差异。

我们期待您参加这次将使您受益匪浅的网络研讨会。
