Job description

Tech Lawyer

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?

Location: Munich, hybrid possible

Engagement: 60–100%

Start Date: 1 February 2027 or upon agreement

Hard requirements: German qualified (zweites Staatsexamen), full proficiency in German & English, love for innovation

Our Mission – Why We Do What We Do

At LEXR, we believe that innovation is the key to solving the world’s greatest 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.

Who We Are

LEXR is a fast-growing law firm focused on the innovation ecosystem. With 40+ team members and offices across Germany, Switzerland and the US, 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.

What You’ll Do

• Help build and grow our Munich office and presence in the local tech ecosystem, including business development, networking, and sales activities.
• Act as the single point of contact for fast-scaling tech companies, supporting them with their day-to-day legal needs.
• Advise innovative entrepreneurs on how to mitigate the regulatory impact on their products and services.
• Work closely within a great team of other tech lawyers in building and advancing our practice in the fields of commercial contracts, IP, and digital regulations.
• Take ownership of your client relationships, projects, and decisions – with the freedom to shape how you work.

What We’re Looking For

Hard Requirements

• Full professional proficiency in both German and English
• German bar admission (zweites Staatsexamen)
• Strong interest in technology and digital business models

Great to Have

• Hands on technological experience – for example:
  • Having built an app
  • Having constructed a robot
  • Holding a drone license
• Business experience – for example:
  • Having started a company yourself
  • Having worked in a scale-up / high-growth tech company
  • Having worked in venture capital
• Relevant legal experience – for example:
  • Drafting and negotiating software contracts
  • Working with regulated technologies (e.g. drones, dual-use goods, AI, medical devices)

We’re not looking for a scholar, we’re looking for a practitioner. The theoretical know-how is great, but what matters most is your ability to apply it in the messy, fast-moving reality of business. We want sharp legal minds who can think independently, make informed, practical decisions, and move things forward for our clients.

We think in terms of solutions and value creation, not time spent. Our aim is to productize legal work for the benefit of both our customers and ourselves to create 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 tech companies, emerging and established.
• 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.
  • Learning & development through training, mentoring, and access to LegalTech and AI tools, including our own AI-powered workspace
