A First Rate Workplace

General

Regardless of whether you join us in a legal position or as part of our secretarial staff, you will find PD to be a first-rate employer: A pleasant team-centered atmosphere that fosters independent working, excellent inter-office support and continued exchange of know-how made possible by our encouragement of a collegial and informal open-door policy are important to that effect. We also offer competitive employment terms and the availability of cutting-edge technology throughout the office.
Furthermore, our orientation towards an international practice adds to a rich working experience. Last, but not least, the central location of our offices in Zürich and Bern makes commuting easy.

Benefits for law-graduates and attorneys

If you are a law-graduate not yet admitted to the bar and want to acquire the experience necessary for the exam, PD is your employer of choice. As a trainee ("Substitut"), you will be assigned to a partner or senior associate who will be your mentor during your time with us so you will never be without guidance or support. However, you will work in different fields with different associates and partners in order to get the most out of your time with us.

If you were to join us as an associate you would enjoy the benefits of our engagement for the professional advancement of our lawyers. We encourage them to specialise in a certain area of practice and give them ample support. We have repeatedly assisted our lawyers to gain practical experiences in a law firm abroad or in the legal department of a corporation or to enroll in post-graduate programs.
