Amendments to the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act

Switzerland is strengthening its anti-money laundering framework. The revised Anti-Money Laundering Act ("AMLA") adopted in September 2025 broadens its scope to include “advisors” who will become subject to certain due diligence obligations currently applicable to financial intermediaries. Advisors are notably lawyers and notaries. The reform aims to align Swiss practice with international Financial Action Task Force ("FATF") standards. The entry into force of the revised AMLA is expected around mid-2026.

The EU AI Act: Update on the application timeline and implications for…

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on Artificial Intelligence (“AI Act”) marked a significant milestone in the European Union’s regulation of AI technologies. Due to its extraterritorial application, also companies based in Switzerland and other non-EU-countries may potentially be subject to the AI Act. The AI Act formally entered into force one year ago, but its substantive rules are applied in a phased approach. Effective 2 August 2025, a significant number of provisions under the AI Act came into force, while the final set of its provisions will only enter into force on 2 August 2026 and 2 August 2027, respectively.
