Zurich: Startup Lawyer (100%)

Kellerhals Carrard Startup Desk is an agile, diverse, and multilingual team of dedicated lawyers, business consultants, paralegals, and staff that operates throughout the country and collaborates closely, with no barriers. Meet your future colleagues here . While we are in essence corporate and commercial lawyers, our expertise and primary focus lies in advising start-ups, especially spinoffs from the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) and other Swiss universities, and their investors. We help our clients structure and negotiate financing rounds, secure intellectual property, set up employee incentive plans, and provide assistance when the time has come to exit their company or if any other legal issue arises along their growth journey. As one of the first law firms to take part in the thriving start-up and venture capital market in Switzerland, with our Startup Desk Kellerhals Carrard has emerged as the leading law firm for entrepreneurs and investors. Acting at the forefront of the ever-growing Swiss start-up scene and the technological evolution is a privilege we don\’t take lightly, and we enjoy every minute of it. We get to work with the brightest, but also the most challenging minds: founders, researchers, professional investors, professors, and many more stakeholders. Why you should join us We have the ambition of putting together nothing more and nothing less than the best start-up lawyer team this country has to offer. Why? The amount of capital being invested in technology start-ups in Switzerland has increased almost exponentially in recent years and is bound to reach new record levels going forward. Similarly, the number of university spinoffs aiming to commercialize cutting-edge innovations is ever increasing. Thanks to the trust of our clients, our Startup Desk\’s practice has seen and will continue to see substantial growth. Convinced yet? You are a corporate lawyer with or without previous experience in the fields of corporate and contract law or even start-ups and venture capital transactions. You know that sometimes you need to walk the extra mile, but you also know that it will be highly rewarded with client trust and opportunities for personal development. You see yourself not just as an employee of a law firm, but as an entrepreneur. By the way, we don\’t really care about your post-grad titles (but we appreciate it if you have any). We also support you at all times in further strengthening your skills in the fields that you wish to explore. What we offer You will be onboarded to a professional, dedicated and loyal team who will always have your back. From day one, you will be asked to build relationships with our clients, of course guided by the more experienced members of the team. You will experience a large degree of freedom in performing your work. Can you onboard your own clients? Sure. Wish to become an expert in a field of law not covered yet? Go for it. Want to establish a new collaboration with another player in the market? Be our guest. Your efforts will be valued monetarily, but also with respect to your role within the firm.
