MLL has consistently supported my professional development by offering the flexibility I needed to balance a fulfilling career with family life. As a part-time working mother, I’ve felt valued, challenged, and integrated into the firm. The trust and encouragement from both peers and superiors have enabled me to grow steadily and take on new responsibilities over the years.
Thaís Obrist-Bdine
Counsel, Zurich
My main motivation lies in solving highly complex, often cross-border problems at the intersection of law, business, and technology. As Co-Head of the Regulatory Practice and AML-Officer, my central task is to provide our clients with stability and clear strategic direction in a constantly changing financial market regulatory environment. What drives me is the feeling of being a decisive factor in our clients’ business success and compliance – this is a great responsibility and, at the same time, very fulfilling. It’s about combining legal excellence with pragmatic, future-oriented advice.
Dr Reto Luthiger
Partner, Zurich
What I find refreshing is that collaboration doesn’t feel hierarchical—it feels dynamic. I can brainstorm with a partner in the morning, exchange quick ideas with a junior colleague at lunch, and by the afternoon we’re already testing a solution together. It’s more like a creative studio than a rigid office: ideas circulate quickly, people listen, and the best concept wins, regardless of who brings it to the table.

I believe MLL strikes the right balance between work and life. Undoubtedly, working in a business law firm is challenging and naturally comes with a lot of work. However, MLL honors that there is more to life than just work.
Dr Philipp Estermann, LL.M.
Senior Associate, London
I believe collaboration here is defined by a shared commitment to the highest standards of quality without losing sight of collegiality. People strive for excellence while maintaining a respectful and supportive atmosphere, which makes working together both effective and enjoyable.
Dr Rhea Specogna
Associate, Zurich
I really appreciate that people here collaborate on an equal footing. Everyone’s input is valued, and different opinions or approaches are genuinely taken into consideration. What stands out to me is the openness and respect across different roles and levels – there’s a real sense of teamwork. This creates an environment where you feel comfortable sharing ideas, learning from others, and working together to find the best solutions.
Karim Steiner
Associate/Notary Public, Zug
I find it outstanding, especially in comparison to other roles I had in my life, how well we collaborate at MLL across different roles and levels. We are all well connected and don’t hesitate to call someone even though we have in fact never met personally. There is an invisible bond and trust amongst us and we do really support each other. Especially amongst us assistants, collaboration and helping each other is key for smooth workflows.

When your employer aims to be the law firm of the future, every single day, you are encouraged to step outside your comfort zone to bring mobility and agility.
