Teichmann International (Schweiz) AG is convinced that it is in the interest of all parties to settle trade disputes efficiently, quickly, and appropriately. Hence, we place great value on the conduction of arbitration procedures, in which we function as party representatives or arbitration court. Through arbitration procedures, disputes can be settled outside of court. In addition, arbitration procedures often are less time consuming and are not subject to governmental conditions that apply to proceedings while being practice-oriented and legally binding. Arbitration proceedings can be combined with mediations and arbitration procedures through which finding an amicable settlement is facilitated. In addition, international treaties facilitate the enforcement of arbitration awards, which is why arbitration procedures are particularly helpful in international matters. Moreover, arbitration procedures offer a high degree of confidentiality whereas court decisions are always declared publicly. If needed, our attorneys in St. Gallen are prepared to move arbitration awards to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland as legal representatives.
Our law firm in St. Gallen has extensive expertise in the are of arbitration. In particular, we provide representative rooms in our prime location at Rosenberg St. Gallen for the execution of arbitration procedures. However, we can also organize and conduct arbitration procedures in other locations. We advise parties in arbitration procedures ad hoc, as well as in compliance with internationally proved and recognized procedural rules. In this, the protection of our clients’ interests always is our main concern. Reaching an amicable solution is one of our main goals, as well.
Arbitration procedures in our law firm in St. Gallen are based on the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) which is the largest company organization in the world and represents more than 45 million businesses in over 100 countries. The ICC encourages international trade, responsible business continuation and a global approach to regulation. When two parties enter a contract, a treaty, or a separate arbitration agreement, they can agree to using the ICC procedural rules so that a potential dispute can be avoided. The ISS is one of the leading international arbitration institutions.
Moreover, we apply the rules of the Swiss Chamber’s Arbitration Institution at Teichmann International (Schweiz) AG, which was founded by the Chambers of Industry and Commerce of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne, Neuenburg, and Zurich and offers procedures for dispute resolution. These are based on the Swiss Riles of International Arbitration.
Furthermore, Teichmann International (Schweiz) AG advises parties from EU countries cased on the rules oft he Belgian Centre for Arbitration and Mediation (CEPANI), which offers mediations and arbitration proceedings to resolve conflicts. The CEPANI is located in the heart of the EU in Brussels and was founded in 1969.
Due to the proximity to Austria, the regulations of the Vienna International Arbitral Centre (VIAC) are highly relevant for our area of practice in St. Gallen, as well. VIAC helps contracting parties with finding solutions to problems on a national and international level. Arbitration procedures with parties in our Austrian neighbor country profit from our expertise relating to the VIAC arbitration and mediation rules.
In addition, our expertise includes the arbitration regulations of the German Institution of Arbitration (DIS), which uses the DIS rules of arbitration to foster German and international arbitration and offers conferences and seminars for lawyers and other interested persons.
The regulations of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) fall within the scope of our expertise, as well. UNCITRAL has specialized in commercial law for over 50 years and also deals with international trade law. In addition, UNCITRAL aims to modernize and harmonize international business rules. Especially companies profit from our extensive expertise that is based partly on the regulations of the UNCITRAL.

The same is true for universal international regulations such as the UN Sales Convention (ICSG) or the Principles for International Commercial Contracts (PICC). However, applying Swiss law seems reasonable because it is easily understandable for laypersons and its interpretation and application can be anticipated. In addition, Swiss legislation offers balanced and convincing conflict resolutions.
