Junior Associate Internship

Zurich / St. Gallen, Full Time, min. 2 months

You’ve just completed your year as a Junior Associate (Substitut/Anwaltspraktikant) and are looking for a new kind of work experience – either between the written and the oral exam or before you start preparing for the written exam as the date is only nine months in the future?

Since 2016, LEXR is re-inventing the way legal services are delivered. Working with LEXR means being part of a modern, motivated and inclusive team that works with the high-growth companies of the future. We are dedicated to designing new and innovative legal solutions, re-thinking legal delivery, and creating a better user experience for tech companies.

What You Get

• Exciting work and responsibility: Advise cutting edge tech firms and high-growth companies, take on responsibility, have direct contact with clients, draft agreements, and manage smaller projects from the start.
• Opportunity to earn and learn: Deepen your practical legal skills by working alongside experienced lawyers, learn important skills for the oral bar exam thanks to direct client contact, and get the opportunity to top up your funds between exams or work experiences (market salary guaranteed).
• Modern workplace & way of working: Forget stiff legal offices – in addition to our state-of-the-art offices in the heart of Zurich, Lausanne and St. Gallen, you get the opportunity to work from (almost) anywhere.
• Ambitious and innovative team: Become part of a driven, self-motivated, stimulating, and welcoming team that works together to achieve amazing things.
• Teamwork: Starting the day with a daily kick-off call, each team member knows what’s on the plate today and what the others are up to.

What Is Required

• Completion of Junior Associate Year: You’re about to complete or have already completed your Junior Associate year as part of your Bar exam preparation.
• Experience in Corporate Law: Ideally, you have worked in corporate law, are familiar with shareholders’ agreements.
• Curiosity & growth mindset: We’re looking for legal minds that see opportunities despite being trained to focus on risks.
• Fluency in German/French & English: You will be working with both local and international clients, but most matters will pertain to the Swiss market.
