Our Mission
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.
About LEXR
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, DeepTech, MedTech, and beyond.
We leverage technology, cross-border networks, and a collaborative culture to deliver actionable, pragmatic, and business-first legal support.

- Take ownership of your client relationships, projects, and decisions – with the freedom to shape how you work.

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.
What We Offer
- 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.
