Document background
The International Loan Agreement serves as the primary documentation for cross-border lending transactions under Swiss law. It is typically used when parties seek to leverage Switzerland's sophisticated banking framework and stable legal system for their financing arrangements. The document comprehensively addresses all aspects of the lending relationship, including facility terms, security arrangements, representations and warranties, covenants, and enforcement mechanisms. Swiss law is particularly advantageous for international financing due to its well-developed commercial law framework, efficient enforcement procedures, and strong creditor protections. The agreement must comply with Swiss banking regulations, including the Swiss Code of Obligations and Federal Banking Act, while accounting for international private law considerations.
