Swiss law permits prenuptial agreements executed as a notarial deed and compliant with the Swiss Civil Code. Agreements may modify statutory marital regimes but must meet formal execution requirements. While financial disclosure is not mandatory, general contract-law principles apply.
Our Global Practice Perspective
For couples with Swiss connections or assets, a properly executed Swiss marital contract can help establish the applicable property regime and support enforceability both domestically and internationally. Certain divorce-related provisions may still be subject to judicial review under Article 140.
From New York and San Francisco, international family lawyer Elena Giannattasio advises clients with cross-border family law matters involving Swiss, providing advanced forum analysis and strategic coordination with trusted local counsel in Swiss law and other relevant jurisdictions, as appropriate.
