Hi,

I would suggest first that you take an LLM. This will get you into Switzerland with a B permit to do the course. There are several universities offering this in both the French and German parts and I believe the course is in English

Once you are enrolled and studying your foot is in the door. From then on you can go to Student fairs, where large employers are represented and someone will more than likely take you(90%).

It is not possible as a non-EU to practice law in Switzerland, unless of course you spend the few years studying for their bar exam. You can take on a role as a legal or general counsel for a company but not actually practice. If you are an EU qualified lawyer then the situation changes.


If you want to apply directly then check out the big companies, UBS, CS, Nestle etc. They usually have openings for business qualified lawyers although preferably with a second or even third language.

If you want to ask more questions feel free and I will answer them in time.
