From the magazine

Non-competition clause

For a post-contractual non-compete obligation to be valid in an employment agreement several provisions must be considered. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has recently published a new decision on this matter. This article in the MME Magazine analyses this decision and contains tips for drafting post-contractual non-compete clauses.

Alteration Notices

Adapting employment contracts to changing economic and operational conditions is a recurring challenge, especially in today's fast-paced modern world. However, caution must be exercised when issuing notices with the option of altered conditions of employment (‘alteration notice’) in this context: not every such notice is legal.
