Benoît Pasquier comments in Law UK on Switzerland as a leading centre for sports disputes
min readBenoît Pasquier, Partner in the Firm’s Dispute Resolution team in Zurich, has been quoted in Law UK in an article exploring Switzerland’s position as a global hub for sports disputes.
The article examines how Switzerland has established itself as a key jurisdiction for international sports arbitration, driven by the presence of major governing bodies and the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In the piece, Benoît comments on the factors underpinning Switzerland’s appeal, including its political neutrality, stable legal framework and strong protections for privacy. He also highlights how Swiss legislation affords sports organisations significant autonomy, contributing to the country’s role as the default legal framework for many international federations and generating complex cross-border work for law firms.
The article also references the Firm’s sports practice, including the work of Geneva-based Dispute Resolution Partner Pierre Bydzovsky in this area, reinforcing Charles Russell Speechlys’ position as a leading adviser in international sports disputes.
