MedTech Lawyer

Lausanne / Zurich, Full Time

The legal profession is changing fast. Change it with us! 

Do you share our ambition to lead the change in the legal industry? Do you want to help the companies of the future as part of a fast-growing team of legal renegades? Are you curious about what the legal workplace of the future will look like? 

Forget stiff legal offices. Working with LEXR means being part of a modern, motivated and inclusive team. We’re a team of legal, tech, and business professionals dedicated to designing new legal solutions, re-thinking legal delivery, and creating a better user experience for businesses. We are now looking for a motivated and hungry self-starter with the work ethic, passion, and grit to take on the challenge of building a better future for lawyers and customers alike. 

 

What you will be doing

  • Advisor to tech entrepreneurs: As a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs and decision-makers, you will provide fast-growing startups and tech companies with the expertise and counsel they need to achieve their vision. 
  • Expert: You will further develop your core expertise in the regulatory fields relevant for MedTech, Life Sciences & Digital Health companies. 
  • Leader: We encourage personal growth by building leadership skills in real-world settings. You will lead projects, manage multi-disciplinary teams and get the chance to build up your own MedTech team. 
  • Business (wo)man: You will spot growth opportunities, develop new products and help extend LEXR’s customer base through marketing and business development activities. 

What is required

  • Legal education: Our work is international, but based on the principles of Swiss law, so a completed Swiss legal education is a must; bar exam, LL.M., or know-how of other jurisdictions a plus. 
  • Language skills: You will be working with both local and international customers and proficient English is a must, but most matters will pertain to the Swiss market, for which you need fluent German skills. Ideally, you also speak French. 
  • Experience: It’s essential that you have already worked as a business lawyer or in-house counsel and can demonstrate work experience and knowledge in the regulatory environment encountered by companies in the fields of MedTech, Life Sciences & Digital Health.  
  • Growth mindset: We’re looking for lawyers that see opportunities despite being trained to focus on risks – strike the right balance and be driven for continuous personal and professional growth.  
  • Attention to detail: Providing actionable legal advice goes much farther than reciting the law. At LEXR, we dig deeper and work harder to provide the best solutions to our customers, which requires diligence and attention to the specifics of every case.  
  • Business sense: We advise businesses and, in order to provide actionable and valuable legal advice to businesses, you need to have at least a basic understanding of how the business world works. 
  • Team spirit: You will be working side by side with customers and team members alike. You are humble, positive, open, and enjoy getting to know what makes people tick. 
  • Tech affinity: We are 99% digital and constantly test out new tools to improve our work environment and customer experience. You do not have to know how to code, but understanding and adapting to new technology easily is a must.  

What you will get

  • Exciting work: We do much more than automating the mundane part of legal. You will advise the tech companies of the future, be it in MedTech, AI, big data analytics, SaaS, or venture capital. You will work with the entrepreneurs and decision-makers directly and your advice has an immediate impact on your customers. 
  • “Inhouse” experience: You will have the opportunity to be a vital part of the team of some of our fast-scaling customers, potentially even in the role of a temporary in-house counsel.  
  • Become an entrepreneur: We don’t believe in micro-management. Every LEXR team member is encouraged to take ownership of their work, bring in their own ideas, and have a positive impact.  
  • Team spirit and open structures: When you join LEXR, you become part of a driven, self-motivated, stimulating and welcoming team that works together to achieve amazing things. We foster comradery with regular team events and trips to startup hubs (we’ve already been to Lisbon, Tel Aviv, Berlin, Swiss alps). Also, expect your voice to be heard from day one and flat hierarchies. 
  • Competitive pay: You will receive a highly competitive, above-market-standard salary. 
  • Location independence: We offer state-of-the-art offices in the heart of Zurich, but also a fully digitized work infrastructure to set you free to change your work setting from time to time. Free www.outsite.co membership is included. 
  • Training and development: A legal career is all about continuously striving to learn, grow and get better. We invest in our people with regular training sessions and courses that encourage them to thrive.
