Our headquarters in Basel collaborates with our studios in Berlin and Munich, London, Paris, Hong Kong, New York, and San Francisco.
Initially as coverage for a colleague on maternity leave and as a long-term addition to the team, we are looking for a committed Legal Counsel to join us by May 2025 or by mutual agreement.

Your Responsibilities:
- Advising partners, architects, and internal committees on all legal issues that arise.
- Reviewing and negotiating contract drafts and independently resolving all legal questions related to Herzog & de Meuron’s projects.
