    And now: The University of Zurich visits Prager Dreifuss   It was a lively evening when thirty law students from the University of Zurich visited our firm. Verena Morscher-Guggenbühl Morscher, Hiring Partner at Prager Dreifuss started off with introducing the firm and its values while also providing the aspiring legal professionals with valuable career advice. Shannon Sangiorgio and Andri Janett then shared their experiences as trainees at Prager Dreifuss AG, illustrating how newcomers are integrated into the firm: working on major cases, experiencing flat hierarchies, and being part of a tight-knit team.   After the introduction an open exchange between the students and our lawyers unfolded. During an Apéro riche, everyone seized the opportunity to ask questions and gain deeper insights. Topics such as the firm’s culture, daily work life, and the challenges of starting a legal career took center stage: "How does one meet the high expectations in such a renowned business law firm?" Our consensus was clear: "At Prager Dreifuss, interns and trainees are given the space to grow into their roles, as associates and partners alike always take the time to share their knowledge and experience."   The event provided the students with valuable connections and answered their key questions, while also allowing us to dispel some common misconceptions about working in a business law firm. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Fachverein Juris and especially to Jonas Zehnder for the excellent collaboration. #UniversityofZurich #PragerDreifuss

  • 📣 We are delighted to be a contributing firm to the Healthcare Medical Devices Guide with Chambers and Partners Global Practice Guide. Andrea Schütz, Marcel Frey and Christian Schönfeld provide expert insights on the trends and developments in 2024. 📈 On 26 May 2021, the Swiss medtech industry lost its barrier-free access to the European market due to the EU's refusal to update the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) for political reasons. Since then, Switzerland has been considered a 'third country' by the EU, posing significant challenges to the Swiss medtech industry.These challenges include: • Ensuring sustainable supply of medical devices to the Swiss population • Maintaining international competitiveness • Preserving innovative strength in the global medical market To overcome these hurdles, Switzerland is exploring partnerships with countries outside the EU, opening new opportunities for market participants abroad. Curious about the ideas and potential solutions being discussed?

  • 44 Law Students from the University of Basel visiting Prager Dreifuss   There was a lively buzz as an entire train compartment full of law students from the University of Basel arrived at the Zurich office of Prager Dreifuss.   A brief introduction of the firm by hiring partner Verena Morscher and a warm welcome speech by Gion Jegher, partner a proud native of Basel, was followed by an intense exchange between the students and the firm’s associates, counsels, and partners. Questions came thick and fast – ranging from "What does daily work really look like?" and "What is the firm's culture like?" to "What happens if I make a mistake?".   The event was a great opportunity to experience the curiosity and engagement of the students firsthand and give them some insights into the everyday life in a law firm. A big thank you to our partner FG Jus of the University of Basel, and especially to board member Lena Ramacci, for the excellent planning of the event.

It was a night filled with both meaningful and fun conversations, shared memories, and inspiring updates from our former colleagues. From reminiscing about our time together to hearing about the exciting new paths our alumni have taken, this event was a reminder of the strong bonds we've built at Prager Dreifuss.
