Schulthess Forum Versicherungsrecht 2025

Our Partner Aline Wey Speirs will be among the speakers of the Schulthess Forum Versicherungsrecht 2025: Business Liability and Professional Liability Insurance – Similarities, Differences, Pitfalls in Insurance Coverage.

From the perspective of insurance companies, insurance intermediaries, the insured, and the injured parties, the following questions, among others, will be examined:

• How can liability and performance claims be distinguished in liability insurance?
• How is the statute of limitations for the (various) claims arising from the liability insurance contract regulated?
• Has the newly introduced direct claim right in the VVG revision proven effective in practice?
• What are the rules for the liability of the intermediaries themselves?
• Does the EU Supply Chain Directive pose a liability risk for Swiss exporters – protection through business liability insurance?
• Is a "Mediation First Policy" particularly suitable for disputes in the area of insurance coverage?

Take advantage of the conference to engage in informal conversations with speakers and colleagues, expanding your knowledge and network. Practitioners from legal consulting, the insurance sector, and insurance intermediaries will be speaking.

Our partner will speak about Mediation in Insurance Law: An Alternative to Judicial Dispute Resolution.
