The handbooks by Dr Alexander Ressos give a structured account of a field of law together with the practical steps that follow from it. They are written for in-house counsel, compliance officers, traders and advisers who need more depth and context than a single article can offer.
Each handbook combines the statutory framework, the practice of authorities and courts, and worked examples drawn from typical transactions. Swiss concepts are explained against the background of other legal systems, so that the handbooks remain accessible to readers who trained in common law, in Chinese law or in another civil law tradition and who need a reliable account of Swiss practice.
The handbooks are designed to be read in two ways. A reader who is new to a field can follow the chapters in sequence and build a complete picture, while an experienced practitioner can turn directly to a checklist, a drafting point or a summary of the relevant provisions when a concrete question arises in a transaction or an internal review.
Where Swiss law draws on international standards, such as sanctions adopted by the United Nations or controls on dual-use goods agreed within the multilateral export control regimes, the handbooks explain how those standards are implemented in Switzerland. This helps foreign companies to align their internal procedures with the Swiss rules and to identify the points at which Swiss practice differs from that of their home jurisdiction.
The titles cover Swiss export control law, Swiss contract law, legal method, the global trade in precious metals, and international trading in power, electricity and hydrogen. Each title is presented with its contents and the readers for whom it is written.
