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. Organized together with the student association Fachverein Juris, the visit offered an exciting opportunity to gain insights into the professional world of a business law firm.

The event began with an inspiring presentation by Verena Morscher, Hiring Partner at Prager Dreifuss. She introduced 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, 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, the next highlight of the evening unfolded: an open exchange between the students and our lawyers. 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. One frequently asked question was: "How does one meet the high expectations in such a renowned business law firm?" The 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 was a success for both sides. It 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.
