Do I need German for lawyer roles in Switzerland?
10 of the 18 lawyer roles here state a language requirement in the posting, and German is the one asked for most (8 postings; English in 6, French in 4). The other 8 say nothing explicit, which in Switzerland usually means the local language of the canton is assumed. A posting written in English is not counted as requiring English; only the stated requirement is. The language pages: german-speaking jobs in switzerland, english-speaking jobs in switzerland, french-speaking jobs in switzerland.
Are part-time lawyer roles common in Switzerland?
Swiss postings state the workload in the title as a percentage of a full week, and 8 of the 18 lawyer roles here do. 4 of those open the door below 100 percent, 4 are full time only. The commonest stated ranges: 100% (4), 70% (2), 80 to 100% (2). A range like 80 to 100 percent means the employer will take four days a week; it is a real option to negotiate, not a formality.
