Lex Futura AG

What Lex Futura AG does

Lex Futura AG is a Swiss law firm founded in 2018, headquartered in Root (Lucerne) with additional offices in Lucerne and Zurich. The firm serves technology companies, founders, and investors, providing specialized legal and notarial services across corporate, venture financing, equity incentive (VSOP), and startup lifecycle matters. Its client roster spans both growth-stage and enterprise companies (e.g., Polariton, SBB, Get Local, Luzerner Kantonspital, Insel Gruppe, SCHURTER, IMS) alongside venture-backed startups such as IPOR Labs, Santersus, Ninja Security, ad io, and Footballerista, indicating dual exposure to high-value enterprise engagements and high-volume early-stage mandates.

The firm's offerings combine traditional hourly advisory (Partners at CHF 360-420/hour, with startup-discounted rates of CHF 300) with productized fixed-price packages ranging from CHF 900 to CHF 5,800 for specific legal deliverables. Notable packaged products include the SeedFast Financing Round offering (co-developed with SeedFast as a partner channel) and the VSOP equity-incentive package. A subscription-style fractional counsel model provides recurring revenue, and a dedicated notarial services platform at notariat.lexfutura.ch extends delivery into Swiss notarial acts.

Lex Futura is privately held with no disclosed external funding. The team consists of seven professionals: two Partners, one Counsel, two Legal Advisors, one Junior Legal Advisor, one Head of Office, and one Notarial Services Manager, supported by credentials from institutions such as London Business School and ETH Zurich. The firm has invested in content distribution via a bilingual YouTube SeedFast series (9 German and 6 English episodes) and was recognized in the Bilanz Ranking 2026 as a recommended Swiss firm for technology and venture law.
