At LEXR, we believe that innovation is the key to solving the world’s most significant challenges – from climate change to access to healthcare, from the need for strategic sovereignty to the lagging digital transformation. That’s why we’ve built a law firm around one purpose: to enable innovators to bring their ideas to life by removing legal roadblocks.

We are more than just lawyers. We are enablers of progress, trusted partners to founders, and contributors to a better future.

LEXR is a fast-growing law firm focused on the innovation ecosystem. With 40+ team members and offices across Switzerland and Germany, we combine deep legal expertise with a modern, tech-savvy approach. Our team of specialists supports clients in SaaS, AI, Deep Tech, Med Tech, and beyond.

We leverage technology, cross-border networks, and a collaborative culture to deliver actionable, pragmatic, and business-first legal support.

• Serve as the single point of contact for fast-scaling startups, providing them with support for their day-to-day legal needs.
• Advise innovative companies on how to mitigate the regulatory impact on their products and services.
• Work closely with a great team of other tech counsels in building and advancing our practice in the fields of contracts, IP, and digital regulations.
• Take ownership of your client relationships, projects, and decisions – with the freedom to shape how you work.

Hard Requirements:

• Full professional proficiency in both German and English
• Swiss bar admission
• Strong interest in technology and digital business models

Great to Have:

• Hands-on technological experience – for example:
  • Having built an app
  • Having constructed a robot
  • Holding a drone license
• Business experience – for example:
  • Having started a company yourself
  • Having worked in a small startup
  • Having worked in venture capital
• Relevant legal experience – for example:
  • Drafting and negotiating software contracts
  • Working with regulated technologies (e.g. medical devices, drones, dual-use goods, AI)

We’re not looking for a scholar – we’re looking for a practitioner. Theoretical know-how is great, but what matters most is your ability to apply it in the messy, fast-moving reality of business. We seek sharp legal minds who can think independently, make informed and practical decisions, and drive progress for our clients.

We think in terms of solutions and value creation, not time spent. We aim to productize legal work for the benefit of both our customers and ourselves — creating clarity, efficiency, and scalable impact.

We’re looking for a team player who actively supports others and thrives in collaboration – while taking full ownership and responsibility. You’re a builder: high-performing, pragmatic, and ready to enable innovation by doing the best work of your life.

• Meaningful work with fast-paced startups and emerging tech companies.
• Freedom and ownership to shape your own legal practice.
• Remote-first flexibility and co-working access with Outsite.
• Team spirit with regular retreats to innovation hubs like Lisbon, Berlin, or Paris.
• Attractive compensation and potential access to an employee participation plan.
• Learning & development through training, mentoring, and access to Legal Tech and AI tools like Deep Judge and Omnilex
