Arbitration is a method that may help you and the other party resolve your dispute without going to court. Instead of the expense and stress of a trial with a judge or a jury, arbitration allows you to reach a legal compromise. You can arbitrate a lot of legal disputes, but not all of them. For example, you cannot arbitrate a homicide. If it is a criminal dispute, it is heard in court. You cannot arbitrate whether you are married, but you could settle child custody and financial issues through arbitration. In fact, a married couple can avoid high legal fees if they both agree to arbitration to settle the finer points of their divorce. You can arbitrate other civil law issues, such as contract disputes between a company and a contractor. Click here to find out more information.

We advise entrepreneurs on the choice of legal form, the establishment and organisation of the legal structure of their business. We advise on all aspects of their entrepreneurial activities, such as the drafting of contracts, intellectual property protection, competition and antitrust law, public commercial law and serve as point of contact with public authorities. We also advise on restructuring, such as the introduction of a holding structure, mergers, spin-offs of companies or parts of companies, on the establishment of efficient management structures, on company acquisitions and on company succession through the sale or inheritance of the company.
We advise on how to comply with and enforce laws and regulations in your organization including how to deal with any violations.

Data protection is on everyone's lips. The EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO), also known by its English name General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a tough one. The EU has anchored the so-called marketplace principle in Article 3 (2) EU-DSGVO. This means that EU data protection law always applies when personal data of persons located in the EU are processed.
Swiss online shops serving customers in the EU are therefore particularly affected by the new data protection regulations.
However, Switzerland also has its own data protection law, which must be observed. Pairfact Legal will be happy to advise you.

Dr. Pair is a member of a number of organizations like Arbitral Women, Bar of Georgia or the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. She also attends numerous conferences and events related inter alia to arbitration. Dr. Pair does not maintain records of fellow members, sponsors, speakers, faculty, students, participants, committee members, employees or attendees of such organizations or events, as that is not by itself a “known” relationship which might reasonably affect impartiality or independence in the eyes of any of the parties.” Dr. Pair is connected to many different people via various social media channels. However, this social media networking does not lead to a close relationship, which could call into questions the impartiality and independence of Ms. Dr. Pair.
Dr. Pair requests any party in an arbitration for which she is proposed as an arbitrator to promptly disclose any facts or circumstances leading that party to question her impartiality or independence as soon as that information is reasonably available to the party and, for that purpose, to undertake a reasonable search of publicly available information promptly after learning of Dr. Pair’s prospective appointment as arbitrator.
