About the job

GROSLIMOND LAWYERS IS LOOKING FOR AN 80–100% LAWYER IN VEVEY

As part of a maternity leave replacement, Groslimond Lawyers is seeking a lawyer holding a Swiss bar certificate to join its team in Vevey.

The start date is planned immediately or by agreement and can be as soon as possible, ideally before 1 December 2026, to allow for a proper handover of files.

The position is initially offered for a fixed term, until 30 September 2027. However, we are open to the possibility of continuing the collaboration beyond this date. A longer-term collaboration within the firm may thus be considered depending on mutual wishes and the development of the activity.

The position

You will join a small-sized firm and gradually take over a varied portfolio of cases.

Depending on your experience, you may work independently or benefit from closer support when starting. Exchanges between lawyers and discussion of cases are an integral part of our way of working.

Your work will be mainly focused on litigation and advice, notably in the following areas:

– family law;
– employment law;
– social security;
– civil liability and insurance law;
– administrative law;
– criminal law.

You will be called upon to manage cases and client relationships, draft pleadings and legal opinions, conduct research, and represent clients before judicial and administrative authorities.

Your profile

You hold a Swiss bar certificate and wish to practise or continue your practice in an environment offering diverse activities.

Applications from recently certified lawyers are welcome, as well as those with several years of experience.

Previous experience in one or more of the areas practised by the firm is an asset but not essential. We primarily value your interest in practising law, your ability to learn, and your willingness to commit to the cases entrusted to you.

Excellent command of French is essential. Good command of English is a valued asset.

Beyond legal skills, we place particular importance on personal qualities. We are looking for a reliable, pleasant, and collaborative person who enjoys exchanges and working within a small team.

Why join us?

Groslimond Lawyers is a small-sized firm located in the heart of Vevey.

We offer a particularly varied practice and significant judicial activity. The position allows you to quickly gain practical bar experience or consolidate an already established practice.

You will have the opportunity to manage your cases with autonomy suited to your level of experience, while benefiting from an environment where it is natural to discuss strategy, compare analyses, or seek a second opinion.

We attach great importance to a healthy, simple, and friendly working atmosphere. We want everyone to work with autonomy and rigour, while maintaining good relationships within the team.

Conditions

Start date: immediately or by agreement, ideally before 1 December 2026
Work rate: 80 to 100%
Initial duration: until 30 September 2027
Prospect: possibility to continue collaboration beyond the replacement
Workplace: Vevey
Application deadline: 20 October 2026

Application

We invite you to send your application file including a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, your work certificates, and the usual documents, compiled into a single PDF file, by 20 October 2026 to:

Me Claire Roten-Groslimond

We look forward to receiving your application and, perhaps, welcoming you soon to Groslimond Lawyers.
