About LEXR
LEXR is a fast-growing law firm for global tech companies, including many of the leading DeFi protocols and blockchain companies. Founded nine years ago, we have grown into a team of over 30 legal experts in five offices covering EU, German, Swiss, and US law. To support our continued expansion in the DeFi, blockchain, and Web3 space, we seek junior and senior lawyers to join our team and help grow our established practice in this area.

Our Mission
At LEXR, we believe innovation, not regulation, is the key to solving the world’s most significant challenges – from climate change to financial inclusion, healthcare access, and digital transformation. That’s why we’ve built a legal 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 through the power of law.

Your Role

• Advise DeFi innovators and Web3 companies: From initial corporate structuring across various jurisdictions and regulatory advice to handling emergencies and ongoing support, you guide DeFi projects and Web3 companies through the legal jungle.
• Productization: You will improve and create new legal products such as DAO wrappers, SAFT agreements, MiCA white papers, and DeFi legal assessments.
• Policy work: You engage with regulators and industry organizations to enhance regulatory certainty and formulate policies that enable DeFi to prosper.
• Engage with the ecosystem: You will build relationships and thought leadership within the Swiss and European blockchain community, whether at events or through social media.

Who You Are

• Qualified lawyer in the EU or Switzerland with experience in financial market regulation.
• We’re looking for both junior and senior roles, so experience is a plus, but not a must.
• Fluency in English, German, and/or French is a plus.
• Tech-curious mindset and a passion for blockchain technology.
• Growth mindset and an entrepreneurial spirit.

What We Offer

• Meaningful work with leading DeFi projects and emerging tech companies.
• Steep learning curve with hands-on training and an extensive portfolio of existing clients.
• Freedom and ownership to shape your legal practice.
• Remote-first flexibility and co-working access with Outsite.
• Team spirit with regular retreats to innovation hubs like Lisbon, Berlin, or the Alps.
• Attractive compensation and potential access to an employee participation plan.
• Learning & development through training, mentoring, and access to LegalTech and AI tools.
