Our Events

SICA Activities

The Association of Swiss In-House Counsel (SICA) regularly organizes events for its members. These events are aligned with the professional interests of our members.

Renowned experts from legal departments, advocacy, academia, business, and public administration share their knowledge and provide practical insights.

Our events offer excellent opportunities for professional and personal exchange as well as for maintaining valuable contacts with colleagues from the Swiss corporate sector.

Materials from past events can be downloaded by members in the member area.

Note on our Bring a Friend Policy:

Upon request, we allow non-members and interested in-house counsel to attend one of our events as a guest. Just send us an email or register the guest directly when signing up for the event.
