Sports Investigations Law and the ECHR
This book focuses on the analysis of coercive measures that sports organisations are permitted to use as part of their internal sports investigation proceedings to investigate sports rule violations. The legality of such coercive measures is measured against the legal regime of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The book examines the important issue of the applicability of the ECHR to private sports organisations, which is currently widely debated in the field of sports law. The ECHR is hereby used as the analytical framework, which should also be a source of inspiration for jurisdictions outside the scope of application of the ECHR. The book further explores if and to what extent sports organisations and law enforcement agencies may exchange intelligence in support of both internal sports investigation proceedings and criminal investigations. At all stages, the work seeks to strike a balance between the interest of sports organisations to investigate sports rule violations and the rights of athletes and other sportspersons. The work will be an invaluable resource for students, academics and policy-makers working in the area of Sports Law and Human Rights Law.
Directors & Officers (D & O) Liability
In recent years several cases concerning the liability of directors and officers have courted controversy. Arguments raised in such discussions oscillate between two extremes: on the one hand, the need for governing bodies to give a space to entrepreneurial discretion and on the other hand to ensure the protection of investors in and creditors of a company from the consequences of disadvantageous decisions by those bodies. In light of the geographical dispersal of the above stakeholders, the study offers a comparative insight into the liability of directors and officers in 10 key European jurisdictions (in particular, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and Switzerland) and 4 non-European jurisdictions (namely Brazil, Israel, Turkey and the United States). Amongst other things it investigates existing company law principles on the topic and examines their interaction with tort law and other fields with a view to suggesting principles for better stakeholder protection. National reports are complemented by an economic analysis and insurance, conflict of laws and comparative reports. The study also benefits from case study analyses.

Swiss Contract Law in International Commercial Arbitration
This book provides a systematic presentation of the most important commercial contracts under Swiss law, i.e., the contract of sale, the contract for work and services, the simple mandate contract, and the commercial agency contract, as well as the licence agreement, the exclusive distribution agreement, and the settlement agreement. The book also contains an in-depth introduction of the Swiss law of obligations, covering topics such as the fundamental principles of contract law, the obligation (as the effect of the contract), the formation of contracts, contract interpretation, validity of contracts, agency, general terms and conditions, and breach of contract. After English law, Swiss law is deemed to be the most attractive law applicable to the parties' contract in an international context. At the same time, English is usually chosen as the language of the arbitration proceedings. This book will therefore be an indispensable resource for all English-speaking lawyers interested in international commercial arbitration.

Commentary on the UN Sales Law (CISG)
Buyers and sellers engaging in the cross-border sale of goods are well-advised to be conversant with the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which governs international sales contracts.

Rechtsschutzversicherung und Anwalt
Die Rechtsschutzversicherung schützt die Versicherten vor den finanziellen Folgen von Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Bei der Zusammenarbeit mit freien Anwältinnen und Anwälten stellen sich viele Fragen. Es ist zu prüfen, welche Leistungen dem Versicherten überhaupt zustehen, namentlich ob er Anspruch auf Unterstützung durch einen unabhängigen Anwalt hat. Weiter stellen sich Fragen zu Inhalt und Tragweite von Kostengutsprachen und allfälligen Rahmenvereinbarungen zwischen Vertrauensanwälten und Versicherern. Dabei sind auch die berufsrechtlichen Schranken solcher Absprachen zu beachten. Ferner fragt sich, welches die rechtlichen Grundlagen der juristischen Dienstleistungen des Rechtsschutzversicherers sind und wie sie dafür haften. Der Tagungsband beleuchtet schliesslich ganz allgemein den Umgang mit Rechtsschutzversicherern aus Sicht der Anwaltschaft, aber auch aus dem Blickwinkel der Rechtsschutzversicherer.
