Event Details
The year 2024 began with two big bangs: The Canton of Zurich changed its practice on tax exemption for charitable foundations and Parliament voted to adopt the motion Burkart to liberalize the law on Swiss family foundations. The arguments were similar in both cases: the world is changing rapidly, enormous assets have to be transfered over, and foundations need modern framework conditions in order to be effective in their respective areas of purpose. This also includes the ability to further develop the legal form despite its rigidity in order to fully realize its potential. The maker of the Swiss Transparency Register are also referring to the “zeitgemäss” – and at the same time are coming into conflict with the rights of foundations and advisors, which must be brought into a contemporary concordance. Finally, everyone is talking about new forms of ownership and companies. The question of what contribution foundations can offer to the contemporary Governance management and transfer of companies has so far been neglected. The hashtag #stiftungenzeitgemäss is not only the title of the 7th Zurich Day of Foundation Law, but should also be a guiding principle for the Swiss foundation sector.
The conference is aimed at academics and practitioners, at founders, and at representatives of foundations, law firms, banks, trusts, supervisory authorities, policy-makers, and economy. It aims to offer a platform that unites research and practice in a goal-oriented, but also visionary dialogue.
