The growth of Blockchain technology presents a number of legal questions for lawyers, regulators and industry participants alike. This book identifies the legal challenges posed by cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and other applications of Blockchain, questioning whether these challenges can be addressed within the current legal system, or whether significant changes are required.Chapters assess how Blockchain's many applications will affect different areas of law, including contract, criminal, financial and private international law. Contributors analyse how these fields of law may need to adapt to accommodate Blockchain technology, proposing possible solutions and ways forward. Several chapters are based on the Swiss legal framework as it allows market participants the widest freedom to operate in Blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Overall, this illuminating work highlights the importance of creating a regulatory structure that will allow Blockchain technologies to develop, whilst also ensuring they are not abused. The conclusions of this book are however quite reassuring, with contributing authors suggesting that although disruptive, the challenges brought about by the 'Blockchain revolution' can, for the most part, be effectively addressed within the law as we know it.This book will be a valuable resource for practising lawyers and academic researchers who are interested in understanding more about how legal and regulatory systems will be affected by the implementation of Blockchain technologies.Contributors include: A. Alberini, V. Botteron, C. Boulay, N. Capus, B. Carron, P. Delimatsis, F. Guillaume, O. Hari, B. Homsy, D. Kraus, M. Le Boudec, V. Mignon, T. Obrist, V. Pfammatter, R.A. Pfister, V. Salomon, P.

Le droit suisse de la société anonyme a connu une révision substantielle le 19 juin 2020. Cet ouvrage fait suite au cycle de conférences consacré à la révision et qui a rassemblé l''ensemble des professeurs et membres de la relève académique de droit commercial de Suisse romande dans le courant du dernier trimestre de l''année 2022 à Fribourg, Genève, Lausanne et Neuchâtel. Les thèmes abordés à cette occasion sont repris et complétés pour couvrir les principaux aspects de la révision. Plus spécifiquement, les effets de la révision sur les aspects suivants du doit de la société anonyme sont examinés dans des contributions qui visent à présenter la matière autant qu''à susciter la réflexion sur des points que la jurisprudence sera appelée à clarifier dans le courant des prochaines années : l''assemblée générale (Mathieu Blanc, Aline Darbellay, Guy Mustaki), le gouvernement d''entreprise et les quotas (Isabelle Chabloz, Guy Mustaki, Alexandre Richa), la rémunération (Rashid Bahar, Edgar Philippin), le droit d''information (Damiano Canapa, Walter Stoffel), les entreprises responsables (Damiano Canapa, Aline Darbellay, Giulia Neri-Castracane, Anne Mirjam Schneuwly), le capital-actions et la structure du capital (Jean-Luc Chenaux, Walter Stoffel), la marge de fluctuation du capital (Isabelle Chabloz, Rita Trigo Trindade), les actions judiciaires et l''arbitrabilité (Edgar Philippin, David Raedler) ainsi que l''assainissement (Rashid Bahar, Jean-Luc Chenaux, Olivier Hari).
