Switzerland as a base for regional legal teams
Switzerland is home to the international and regional headquarters of many pharmaceutical, life-sciences and industrial groups. Legal roles there often cover several countries or the whole EMEA region, so companies look for lawyers who combine Swiss or European legal experience with international business work.
