Neur.on Sharpens Its Profile as an AI Translation Platform
Fribourg, March 2026 – Neur.on is accelerating the international expansion of its secure AI translation platform for the legal, tax and financial sectors. As part of this strategic refocus, its interdisciplinary Legal NLP team is joining Noxtua, Europe’s sovereign legal AI, freeing up resources for Neur.on’s next phase of growth.
Two Areas of Expertise, Two Strategic Directions
Neur.on has developed deep technical expertise in AI-powered translation of complex legal and regulatory content, designed to meet the high security and quality standards of the legal, tax and financial sectors. In parallel, the team has built advanced legal NLP know-how that forms the foundation for cutting-edge legal AI applications.
The company is now leveraging strong market momentum to build targeted traction in both areas, working alongside partners who share the same core values: a firm commitment to a sovereign, pan-European approach, strong data security, as well as a shared ambition to enhance the work of legal professionals through high-quality AI solutions.
Doubling Down on Secure AI Translation
Neur.on continues to expand its secure AI translation platform for highly regulated industries, while forming strategic partnerships to scale its technology internationally. At the core of its offering is the precise and secure processing of complex legal and regulatory content, designed to meet the exacting requirements of the legal, tax and financial sectors.
As part of this strategic refocus, the interdisciplinary Legal NLP team – comprising data scientists, legal experts, and law-specialised linguists – is joining Noxtua to help drive the pan-European expansion of the Legal AI Workspace. Both companies will share a location in Fribourg going forward. “AI is evolving at breakneck speed, while the pressure on Europe to strengthen its digital sovereignty continues to grow. In this global AI race, strong alliances will be key to success. That is why we decided to move our NLP team to Noxtua, Europe’s sovereign legal AI. Drawing on our experience from the diverse Swiss market, we can help drive ‘AI Made in Europe’ forward. At the same time, the Neur.on core team is sharpening its focus on AI translation for high-compliance environments,” says Paula Reichenberg, Founder of Neur.on. “On a personal note, I am very happy to continue both journeys – as Chair of the Board of Neur.on and as VP Legal Innovation at Noxtua.”
Further Announcements to Follow
Detailed information on the company’s next strategic milestones will be announced in the coming weeks.

First, the honour of being invited to pitch Neur.on among a select group of forward-thinking legaltech vendors.
Second, a sweepstakes win that included a variety of thoughtful and entertaining gifts—thanks to the creative networking format introduced by the hosts.
And third, and most meaningful of all: insightful conversations with global legaltech executives, which confirmed the growing demand for multi-lingual legal translation workflows in large, international organizations.
The event highlighted the strategic importance of Neur.on’s mission, as key players in the legaltech space increasingly recognize the complexity and critical nature of high-quality legal translation at scale.

Our CEO is part of the Female Founder Project 2025
They say female founders get different questions. Our CEO Paula Reichenberg has got different answers.
According to the Harvard Business Review, one of the many complex and mysterious reasons women secure far less venture capital funding (1.8% of total VC capital in 2024) is the way founders are being asked questions during funding rounds.
Apparently, 67 % of questions to male entrepreneurs are promotion-oriented (focusing on hopes, achievements, advancement), while 66 % of questions to female entrepreneurs are prevention-oriented (revolving around safety, responsibility, potential risks).
What happens with that? If you don’t know these patterns, your answers will inevitably be leaning more towards the question’s realm of motivation. As for females, this can make you sound more conservative and risk-averse, making you look like less of an investment opportunity.
Paula “doesn’t care” about being a woman. Not more than she cares about her zodiac sign. She never complains about the world being unfair and doesn’t lose time seeing herself as a victim of anything. She does the best she can with the cards she has been dealt.
But that means she needs to come prepared — be it in funding rounds or any other sort of business situation. Which is why she is thankful to UBS for including her in this year’s Female Founder program. It’s a modern approach to accelerating female founders in their success through a holistic program of investor readiness training.
She hopes this readiness training involves lots of really mean questions.

Neur.on’s CEO is attending Legalweek in New York on March 26th and 27th, 2025.
One ear firmly on the ground, one keenly up in the air… is how our CEO, Paula Reichenberg, approaches research and anticipates trends to guide Neur.on’s business development.
“To do that successfully, you sometimes have to go where the biggest signals are coming from,” she shared.
“Which is exactly why, this afternoon, I found myself at the airport, waiting for a flight to New York City.”
This week, Paula is attending Legalweek in New York — a flagship event that has consistently been at the forefront of major technological shifts in the legal industry.

Join us at the FORWARD Forum on Thursday, March 20, 2025 in Lausanne!
SMEs and the digitization: adapt or disappear (s’adapter ou disparaître)!… Is the overarching theme of this year’s FORWARD Forum thought up by Le Temps.
From 2:10 to 2:35 pm, EPFL professor, Rachid Guerraoui, and Neur.on’s CEO will be discussing the “shock” Switzerland is facing since AI turned out to be more than just a hype.
If you’re more interested in talks and discussions about fending off cyber attacks, Switzerland’s digital sovereignty in relations to the gargantuan US counterparts, or companies’ chances of utilizing the blockchain, this day will very much float your boat.
Around 500 participants from all over Switzerland with a particular focus on French-speaking SMEs, academic players, research institutes, start-ups and larger companies are expected to make this a fantastic hotspot to broaden your network.

Join Us at GILW25 (Geneva Internationl Legal Week) – March 10-12, 2025 - organized by the Geneva International Legal Association!
Are the initially high costs to incorporate AI really just “training spent”?
At least that’s what some innovation officers of early-adopter law firms and legal departments euphemistically call it.
But for anyone with a firm grasp of their budget, there has to be a clear sign of AI adding to their ROI.
You have probably heard it a hundred times in the past 24 months: utilizing AI will maximize your productivity, enhance your work’s quality, reduce the risk of legal implications and time delays — and it can generate a lot more profit while at the same time making the judicial system more accessible to more people.
What you might not have heard is HOW to do it.
If that interests you, we cordially invite you to join our CEO at this year’s Geneva International Legal Week by Geneva International Legal Association (GILA). On March 12, Paula Reichenberg will be part of a panel discussion that starts at 10:45 am, alongside Karin Mülchi from Bridge Legal Group AG, Prof. Dr. Vanessa Rüegger from University of Geneva Morgan Vallat from EY, moderated by Nicolas Torrent. Together, will we will share our insights and concrete tips on using AI profitably.

Join Neur.on at the AI Days in Geneva tomorrow!
Everybody and their grandmother are talking about AI, but who really understands what it takes to train an LLM to make it a great translator?
That is exactly what our Data Scientist, Eloi Eynard, is going to show you at AI Days 2025 in Geneva tomorrow.
At NEUR.ON, we’re bringing LLMs to the brinks of their capacities. All to teach them better translation skills which are highly sought after in the technical text landscapes of the legal and financial fields. Eloi will show the attending SMEs how our processes work, and whether we also train additional models to check on our translation models.
Others have their GOATs. But why do we call all new AI models developed under Eloi’s supervision, “TheGoose”? Find out about this quirky fact, and lots more, by coming by tomorrow, Tuesday, January 28th, at 11:30 a.m.. (Location: Balexert Pathé, Av. Louis-Casai 27, 1209 Vernier)

On January 23rd this year, the eJustice.ch organisation celebrates its 40th birthday, kicking off a new series of talks called "Kamingespräche" (fireside chats).
These talks aim to bring people from legal and tech backgrounds together in a rather intimate atmosphere with only few people in the audience – promising a fruitful, focused way of exchanging thoughts and inspiring each other.
The first of these talks will take place on January 23 as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of the association eJustice.ch. Our CEO is very much looking forward to it, because they asked her to discuss the subject “Swiss Justice Base Model” together with Michael Schöll, Director of the Federal Office of Justice; Daniel Brunner, Head of IT Services, Swiss Federal Supreme Court; Martin Jaggi, Associate Professor at Machine Learning and Optimization Laboratory for SwissAI; and Hayo Iversen, CEO of Swisslex – Banque suisse de données juridiques SA.
As much as we would have loved to invite all of you, this event is only open to Verein eJustice.ch association members. (If you would like to become a member: please click here).
A spoiler on topics that might spark heated discussions: What does AI sovereignty mean in terms of IP rights and data security, as well as legal logic, ethics, and—even without wanting to sound pedantic—the underlying Swiss interpretation of the philosophy of law.

Careers and the Business of Law with David Cowen! Listen to this 11-minute conversation between David and Paula at the TLTF Summit 2024.
At the TLTF Summit 2024, our CEO, Paula Reichenberg spoke with David Cowen about the thing that changed her life, what’s the most important skill she will have to bring to be a successful entrepreneur, and what she is envisioning for the upcoming year.
“Marketing to lawyers is very different than selling wine.”
“At the time, you heard of the sneaker brand ‘On’ everywhere. We just said: ‘Well, we’re Neur-On now.'”
“I’m superstitious about these things, and I don’t want to jinx myself here.”

NEUR.ON's CEO, Paula Reichenberg, pitched yesterday at the largest investor meet-up in Western Switzerland, the EPFL Investor Day.
What to cut from your pitch deck when you have only 3 minutes on stage.
Before they could take the stage, all attendees were invited to take part in a pitch masterclass, led by one of the brightest minds in this subject, Jordi Montserrat.
One thing he said really took Paula by surprise. They spoke about which things to cut from one’s pitch if it doesn’t fit for time. They figured that fate was fair for things like the 5 year roadmap, or financials.
But Jordi said: cut the team.
The team? The backbone of the company when it comes to expertise and personality? No way this can fly with possible investors.
But Jordi’s reasoning was crystal-clear: “When you’re on stage, you’re representing the vibe of your company. If that’s good, it’s worth more than the team slide.”
And you know what? Paula implemented it for her pitch in the afternoon. Allowing her 2-3 more breathers, and making for a more relaxed and (hopefully) convincing presentation.
All in the clarity that she is not abandoning her team. After all, when talking to interested investors, it never takes her 3 minutes to start fawning over her co-founders and team, anyway.

Swisscom and NEUR.ON officially announced a collaboration to better serve the legal and banking industry.
Very big news for Swiss law firms and banks.
Last night, at the Kickstart Innovation 2024 closing ceremony, Stefan Koller of Swisscom and NEUR.ON officially announced a collaboration to better serve the legal and banking industry. Together, we are launching a PoC to build the most secure Legal & Financial Translation and Drafting Toolbox for Swiss lawyers and finance professionals.
The solution shall allow Swiss banks and law firms to leverage the power of Neur.on’s specialized LLMs both with their own — fully securely stored — data, and with Neur.on’s unique curated multilingual in-domain datasets. Hosted on a 100% Swiss environment.
Thank you, Swisscom, and in particular Silvan Lohri and Daniel Dobos, for the honor of being among the first companies to deploy on your brand-new, state-of-the-art NVIDIA GPU infrastructure. Our engineers are thrilled by its processing power and the extensive range of security calibration opportunities.
Special thanks as well to Katka Letzing, Elisabetta Maria Chiarantoni, and the whole Kickstart team for accelerating the launch of our PoC.
The fun has only just begun.

Our CEO Paula Reichenberg has been nominated to become a member of the HES-SO Strategy Committee Council from 2025 to 2028
Planting some trees so the next generations can harvest their fruit.
HES-SO Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale nominated our CEO Paula Reichenberg to become a member of their Strategy Committee Council from 2025 to 2028.
This advisory board combines experts with different backgrounds in academics, business, health, social activities, and culture – always reflecting the topics studied within the university.
Paula is honoured that HES-SO allows her to contribute to the education of future generations. With the current geopolitical, societal and technological shifts we’re witnessing, future-proofing Switzerland as the attractive playground and thriving marketplace for startups and innovators is key.
While EPFL and EPFZ are working on deeptech and revolutionary technologies that allow fundamental changes, the role of the Schools of Engineering and “Haute écoles” in Switzerland is just as fundamental: bringing tech from the lab to market, winning over companies, listed corporations or SMEs, so that in the end, the revolution can reach the consumers and create value for them.
As a mother of two children and the chief executive and board member of several companies, Paula’s free time might be stretched thin.
But our CEO thinks that getting a say about the future of education, alongside knowledgeable figures like Pascal Crittin (director of radio and television at SRF – Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen), Emilie Dellecker (directrice of HackGroup), François Dubois (director of Pro Senectute Arc Jurassien), Annina Grob (co-secretary of AVENIR SOCIAL), Elisabeth Gutjahr (rector of Mozarteum University Salzburg), Olivier Haegeli (general director of Willemin-Mcodel and vice president of CCI du Jura), Pierre-Henri Jaccaud (drector of Skopia Art Contemporain Geneva), Christian Leumann (CEO ad interim Inselspital Bern), Raphaëlle Luisier (group leader at Idiap Research Institute), Brigitte Rorive (president of Hôpital Riviera-Chablais), and Patrick Rosset (senior director of operation strategy at Medtronic) is going to be energizing, humbling, and inspiring, all at the same time.

The commercial register of Schwyz now offers something no other canton does: AI-powered translations of excerpts into English.
The canton of Schwyz is an AI trendsetter.
The commercial register of Schwyz now offers something no other canton does: AI-powered translations of excerpts into English.
Not only is Schwyz the picturesque cradle and namesake of Switzerland, it also just added a very pragmatic AI implementation for businesses based in their canton.
In the past, hundreds of people called into the Schwyz Commercial Register every month, asking them one specific thing: “I need a reliable English translation of an excerpt. Can you please help me?”
Othmar Aeschi of Handelsregister Schwyz, known driver of innovation, had the informed intuition that AI could help. He got in touch with Raphael von Thiessen from the Division of Business and Economic Development of the Amt für Wirtschaft, Kanton Zürich. Raphael featured the challenge in their Innovation Sandbox for Artificial Intelligence, matching NEUR.ON with the Commercial Register Schwyz. And we developed the most accurate translation model for exactly this purpose. On the authorities’ side, the project was then implemented with support of DV Bern AG, the expert IT company responsible for the online commercial register platform zefix.ch.
The challenge was not only linked to NLP engineering. The even bigger question was how to accurately translate typically Swiss legal concepts into English in a way that avoids misunderstandings (or even awkwardness) in cross-border dealings.
Prokurist?
Kollektivunterschrift zu zweien?
Gesellschafter (einer GmbH vs. einer Kommanditgesellschaft)?
Streichung vs. Löschung?
Stimmrechtsaktien vs. Vorzugsaktien?
If you’ve ever wondered how to properly translate any of the above in their respective context, you’ll know exactly how far off the point a mediocre translation can hit.
And to add some rainbow sprinkles onto that lawyer-linguist sundae treat, we also had the opportunity to discuss gender neutral translations – especially for Board of Directors positions that, 50 years ago, used to be held exclusively by men.
As you can see, high-end AI projects require extensive human domain expertise to be successful.
A warm thank you to all project stakeholders, in particular to the countless hours invested by Othmar Aeschi of Handelsregister Schwyz, Raphael von Thiessen of the Office for Economy, and Thierry Coita and @Michael Gillmann of DV Bern AG, as well as to Carmen Walker Späh for her untirable support for Innovation Zurich.

Neur.On is going to Miami!
This December, the TLTF Summit is back for its third installment. The symposium, dubbed the “highly-curated event for innovators who are transforming the world of law”, had hundreds of early-stage startups from all over this Earth apply for the “Startups Showcase” shortlist. Only 24 got the invite, and NEUR.ON is one of them!
We will be presenting our legal translation AI suite this December to a bespoke group of investors, industry giants, and our skilled peers, such as Dru Armstrong from AffiniPay, Wendy Butler Curtis from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, or Jay Greenberg from LexShares, to just name a few.
You might ask yourself: “What’s the TLTF Summit?” We’re talking about an invite-only event that brings together a curated group of innovative LegalTech leaders. There will be C-suite executives, law firm chairs and managing partners, general counsels and legal operations leaders, investors (VC, PE, Litigation Finance), founders from startups to corporations, law school deans and academics. In other words: you won’t be able to walk five metres without being entangled in fruitful conversation, enlightening speeches, and highly-valuable networking.
What a way to close this industrious year.

Learn from Neur.on’s CEO as she shares her mistakes on stage to help you avoid them.
When you scroll through LinkedIn, 97% of all posts talk about success. The upsides, the travel, the smiley networking pictures. (We are of course aware that we all do it, even Paula).
Of the remaining 3%, two are lobbying towards more honest communications about failures and mistakes.
And that last one percent ACTUALLY shows the missteps for others to heed and steer clear of.
Paula Reichenberg, CEO of Neur.on, is a strong advocate for learning from mistakes. If you’d like to learn from hers, mark your calendar for November 14!
Paula will be speaking at the DigitalEconomyAward 2024 in the Hallenstadion Zürich, more precisely at their “AI Sandbox” event.
From 3pm to 4 pm, Andrea Fossati from Parquery, Cristiano Malossi from IBM Research, and Paula, will discuss what they have experienced during their past ventures.

Can you guess the biggest concern of LegalTech and FinTech corporations working with new suppliers? In our experience, it's information security.
After all, in the industries named, handling client data according to protocol isn’t a gimmicky benefit. It is absolutely crucial.
And while our smiling faces won’t tell, we’re very serious about this subject. So much so that we have achieved the ISO-27001 certification.
ISO-27001 is an international standard for implementing, maintaining and improving ISMS (information security management systems).
Our processes for accessing, storing, and safeguarding information has been thoroughly vetted through an official third party.
And as you can imagine, we won’t stop there – this t-shirt is only the first in our security-fashionista’s wardrobe. More to be printed soon. Because IT safety comes already woven into everything we do.

NEUR.ON Recognized in BILANZ’s Top 2024 Innovators Ranking: #13 Overall and #2 in Innovation Culture!
In the October 2024 edition of BILANZ Wirtschaftsmagazin, they’re presenting the ranking on “Switzerland’s most innovative companies” they recently researched together with Statista and PME.
NEUR.ON made it on there, twice: in the general count of the top 80 most innovative Swiss companies, we’ve reached rank 13. And regarding “Innovation Culture”, we even came in second. (Congratulations on that pole position, Numarics!)
It really pays to not only nurture a team of fast-paced thinkers, testers, and tinkerers, but to also let that team live out this culture of open innovation. So much so they’re then ready to share their satisfaction, should large national publications, or a renowned statistics portal hypothetically send your team survey links to gather intel on your inner-cultural workings. (You know, just in case.)

We officially started into this year's Kickstart Innovation cohort in our Finance & Insurance vertical.
At the opening ceremony on Tuesday, the industrious spirit was palpable, and I had the pleasure of pitching NEUR.ON to the program partners, investors, and my peers.
Now follows a week of talks and meetings with national and international collaborative partners, experienced mentors, subject matter specialists, and aligned colleagues in Zurich and Fribourg.
What’s the goal of all this? Kickstart Innovation allows us to find new clientele by matching them with our respective cohorts and initiating talks. All of this under the attentive eye of the Kickstart team, and in particular of Katka Letzing, whose favorite line is “if you don’t sign PoC agreements by the end of this month, I will find you.”
The very driven people standing around me are Pascal Sollberger and Tobias Wegmüller (both hypt), Markus Geissler and Elisabetta Maria Chiarantoni (both Kickstart Innovation), Ravina Mutha from enterprisebot, and Mathias Höllerl from Keyless.

Neur.on’s CEO Paula Reichenberg to Judge Elevator Pitch Competition at 2024 Weblaw Forum in Zurich
We are happy to announce that Neur.on’s CEO, Paula Reichenberg, will be a member of the jury for the Elevator Pitch Competition at the 2024 Weblaw Forum on June 20.
Last year, NEUR.ON won 1st place in this prestigious competition. The entrepreneur next to Paula in the picture is Barbara Müry, CEO of Herlock, who secured 2nd place.
Gain Insights into the Jury’s Criteria:
Understanding the criteria jurors use to assess pitches can give you a competitive edge. Paula will be evaluating pitches based on Julia Maltby‘s “10 Criteria for Investing in LegalTech.” Julia is an early-stage investor at Flybridge and X-Factor Ventures. Find her full list here.
Here are 3 exemplary criteria out of these 10:
Expand Beyond Seat-Based Pricing: The legal market is hyper-fragmented with many small practitioners. Innovative pricing models, such as capturing a percentage of savings generated, are more appealing than simple SaaS pricing.
Avoid “Black Box” Automation Solutions: Lawyers require visibility into AI outputs and prefer a “human in the loop” for easy fact and logic checking.
10x Speed for Non-Billable Tasks: Products that accelerate non-billable legal functions are easier to sell, as they significantly enhance productivity.
We hope these insights provide valuable understanding into the jury’s evaluation process.

How Law Firms Reinvent their Operating Models and Relationships with General Counsels: 3 gold nuggets from Legal Innovation panelists at the London LegalTechTalk 2024
- Invest in and develop the relationship between inhouse legal teams / GCs and external legal counsels. It’s the easiest way to receive actionable and pro-active legal advice.
- Analyze your processes and data to achieve marginal efficiency gains. When innovating in law firms, start with the low-risk areas and gradually move into the more complicated processes.
- Create multidisciplinary teams, across the key stakeholder departments, to tailor to the requirements of the client and deliver a holistic client experience.
This insight has been brought to you by James Lane, Jordan Lee, and Line Lolk Thomsen, with whom Neur.on’s CEO, Paula Reichenberg, discussed “How Law Firms Reinvent their Operating Models and Relationships with General Counsels”.
13.06.2024
Key takeaways of the 2024 LegalTechTalk conference in London
“I refuse to pay for information I already have,”
exclaims the General Counsel of an energy company when asked about his top criteria for appointing external law firms.
“This is a simplistic view and certainly no solid basis for building a long-term, fruitful relationship with panel law firms,” retorts the GC of a multinational corporation, responsible for managing the legal functions of over 15 different countries. “If you expect a law firm to add value and provide actionable business advice, in-house lawyers and external counsels must share knowledge and build common ground. This requires investment and trust from both sides.”
“Trusting is not the first adjective that comes to mind when describing lawyers – they have been educated to be on their guard and skeptical to better protect their clients. Making the switch does not come easy,” responds a LegalInnovation officer at a corporate law firm.
“They must understand that General Counsels do not always expect guaranteed correctness; receiving their best-informed opinion in urgent matters is the priority, and forecasts that turn out to be wrong are part of business life. Providing clear guidance to your panel law firms about the type and amount of work they can expect from your company also helps build trust: if the lawyers can invest enough in understanding your company and expectations, they will proactively suggest efficiency-boosting solutions.”
“When working with GCs, our lawyers’ objective is to act as their extended arm,” confirms the Head of Innovation at a continental law firm. “Our first focus when onboarding a new client is to find counterparts that match the GC’s working and communication style. To tackle each of their issues, we then set up ad hoc teams with the right mix of field expertise, educational background, and levels of seniority.”
“In addition to the right team, data-driven process analysis is key to efficient delivery of legal services,” adds Jordan Lee, Chief Strategy Officer of a collective redress law firm, Pogust Goodhead. “Once you identify a step that can be automated or repetitive patterns that can be streamlined, the tech team can step in and capture even the smallest marginal gains. These quickly add up to substantial cost efficiencies and quality increases.”
“There is a clear tendency for clients to expect their lawyers to also act as tech advisors whenever legal process optimization is possible. E.g., in NEUR.ON’s field of expertise, any client facing major translation challenges in a legal case expects lawyers to have a cost-efficient and secure solution ready. The testing, benchmarking, and co-creation of LegalTech tools have become part of the law firm’s deliverables.”
Here are a few takeaways from the conference.
Mark your calendars for next year’s edition!
A big thank you to Bradley Collins, Charlotte Johnstone, and Merlin Beyts for the brilliant organization.

Neur.on wins the Swiss Fintech Awards 2024 in the Early-Stage Category!
This felt like coming home…
Yesterday evening, the jury at the SwissFinTechAwards 2024 decided for Neur.on to be the winner in the “Early-Stage Startup” category.
Having pitched in a lot of places, we usually come across a fairly similar set of questions. “What do I need a specialized AI-powered translation engine for?” “Haven’t you heard of DeepL?” “My 6-year-old could translate this document online.”
But the Swiss FinTech Awards were different.
Here, it felt like the whole room just GOT us. The people here understood that your run-of-the-mill online translation service cannot guarantee a platform that is secure for client data, and language that is both specific to the finance and law markets and reflective of their perceived professionalism.
Thanks for that warm and fuzzy feeling of coming home, Swiss FinTech Awards!

Reinventing Operating Models in Law Firms: Insights from Industry Leaders at the 2024 LegalTechTalk in London
Join us for an informative session on the transformation of law firm operating models aimed at better serving General Counsels, where our panellists will discuss WHY it is worthwhile to embrace change and HOW to effectively implement it.
James Lane, Regional General Counsel for Stericycle, a global leader in medical waste and document destruction services, will share his extensive experience in collaborating with panel law firms. With oversight of the legal function across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, James manages a cross-border legal team spanning over a dozen countries. One of his initial tasks at Stericycle was to establish an internal Legal Function and conduct a comprehensive panel law firm review. James will outline his criteria for selecting the most efficient counsels and his strategy for fostering well-working relationships.
Line Lolk Thomsen, Head of Projects & Innovation at Plesner, one of Denmark’s largest law firms, brings expertise from her background in Innovation and Business Development. Holding a Master’s degree from Copenhagen Business School and having worked in Latin America and Asia, Line now works at Plesner within areas such as process management and digitalization. She will discuss how multidisciplinary teams, working collaboratively across disciplines, are driving innovation.
Jordan Lee, Chief Strategy Officer at Pogust Goodhead, a pioneering collective redress law firm operating on a No-Win, No-Fee model funded by hedge funds, will present practical use cases and examples illustrating the impact of their innovation-driven approach. Responsible for both demanding and driving innovation, Jordan will highlight how their model enhances speed and focus, ultimately improving case success rates and reducing costs.
Paula Reichenberg, Vice-President of the Swiss LegalTech Association and Founder & CEO of NEUR.ON, will moderate the panel. Neur.on is the first LegalTech to offer law firms, corporate legal departments, and financial service providers an industry-tailored platform for accurate legal and financial translations. In both her capacities, Paula closely monitors the fast-growing expectations of law firms and legal departments regarding tech-induced efficiency gains.
The topics covered will encompass:
– strategy-driven advice,
– the value added by multidisciplinary teams,
– client expectations regarding the use of LegalTech tools, and
– the benefits of data analytics in identifying potential efficiency gains.
This session is geared towards law firms looking to stay ahead in a competitive landscape. It provides an opportunity to gain insights from leaders who are at the forefront of Legal Innovation.

Neur.on Named Finalist for the Swiss Fintech Awards 2024 in Early Stage Category!
Putting Neur.on’s AI-powered translation software up against big players like ChatGPT or Gemini is, by all means, not a David vs Goliath scenario.
More fittingly, you could compare these broad LLMs to the invention of the combustion engine: a brilliant feat with a multitude of applications from field tractors to high-speed yachts.
We then took said combustion engine (aka the most powerful and efficient LLMs) to craft bespoke rockets around it and send legal and financial professionals to new heights. We named our fleet “Corrext”. It’s the first legal and financial translation SaaS.
Read more about why our company Neur.on is glad about the billions of dollars being pumped into AI by Big Tech at the moment – and why we’re positive this is only going to benefit our clients in the future: have a look at Lea Fäh‘s article in this weekend’s fintech deepdive in Finanz und Wirtschaft.

Neur.on at GEN AI Summit 2024: Shaping the Future of Technology
The GEN AI Summit 2024 in Lausanne brought together industry leaders and innovators to shape the future of technology. We are proud to share that our CEO, Paula Reichenberg, was a featured speaker at the summit on May 29th, providing insights into the dynamic world of Generative AI.
At the summit, the discussions extended beyond the major announcements from tech giants like OpenAI and Google. Participants had the chance to explore various use cases at panoramai.ch, demonstrating the true value of Generative AI and leaving attendees with actionable insights for their own projects.
Paula participated in the session on “Domain Specific Innovation,” alongside distinguished speakers such as Raphaël Briner, Pascal Wicht, Romain Rosay (CTO of Amplify), and Deepak Tewari (CEO of Privately). This session delved into the nuances of AI and technology across different industries.
Key Takeaways from Paula’s Discussion:
- Limitations of Current Machine Translation Tools: Paula highlighted the challenges of using tools like Deepl for specialized legal and financial translations, emphasizing the difficulties in handling nuances across different legal systems.
- Cultural and Linguistic Challenges: She discussed the significant cultural and linguistic barriers to achieving accurate translations, which are critical in legal contexts.
- Future Aspirations for AI in Legal Translation: Paula shared insights on the incremental improvements and future goals for AI to better serve the legal translation field.
Broader Impact of AI:
The session also covered the wider societal impacts of AI, including potential job displacement and the ethical considerations of AI applications. Audience questions brought up practical issues such as the accuracy of age detection across different ethnicities and the management of deep fakes. The panelists reassured ongoing efforts to refine these technologies and ensure they meet regulatory standards.

NEUR.ON is one of the 4 finalists for the Swiss FinTech Awards 2024.
You think there’s been a mix-up?
“But how would an AI-powered SaaS Translation Platform ever be considered a FinTech?”, you might ask – especially those of you who have met us at the countless LegalTech events we took part in.
But the jury of the Swiss FinTech Awards understands that accurate terminology and compelling wording goes way beyond the legal domain.
For banks, precise language and poignant communication are the luxury packaging in which they deliver their expertise.
Imagine you receive a glossy brochure that is supposed to hold an insightful portfolio review from your private banker. You start reading and after only a few sentences it’s crystal clear that the whole thing had been machine-translated, and badly at that. The phrasing is off, there are contextual inconsistencies throughout, and it’s obvious to you that the end result had never even been reviewed by a native speaker.
Poor language unavoidably instils the suspicion of incompetence and, maybe even worse, disrespect towards your readers. Unthinkable in the world of Swiss “financial haute horlogerie”.

From the Group General Counsel of a global corporation to partners at international law firms, the Female Lawyers' Day (JournéeDesAvocates – Tag der Anwältinnen), organized in Bern by the Schweizerischer Anwaltsverband (SAV) on February 5th 2024, brought together inspiring women from all horizons.
Are female lawyers more prone to “professional accidents”?
Surprisingly, a prevalent theme in their remarkable careers was attributing success to “accidents” (“un concours de circonstances” or “Zufall”).
Upon listening to their stories, however, it became evident that excellence, audacity, strategic seizing of opportunities, and authenticity are far more plausible explanations.
A sincere thank you to the wonderful organizer, Sandra De Vito Bieri, for putting together this mentoring opportunity. Gratitude also to Birgit Sambeth for bringing the Journée des Avocates to life. To all the moderators and panelists, thank you for your candid stories and invaluable advice.

Let's make Safe & Secure AI accessible to all Swiss SMEs!
Paula Reichenberg, Neur.on’s CEO & founder, has recently been nominated as a Member of the Industrial Board of the Swiss AI Center for SMEs (CSIA-PME), led by the HES-SO Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale.
As a committed startup founder and LegalTech CEO, accepting an additional responsibility is not an obvious choice.
However, the Swiss AI Center, co-created by Prof. Jean Hennebert to serve Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), as well as ICT startups, adopts such a pragmatic and entrepreneur-focused approach that Paula was convinced she could contribute simply by voicing the screaming needs of innovative companies in Switzerland: data sovereignty and corresponding Swiss GPU infrastructure, data source and data flow transparency linked to GenAI, and clear and business-compatible guidelines and rules for AI certification, to name just a few.
We look forward to the discussions with entrepreneurs from all industry sectors!

There is a critical need to bolster cybersecurity for SMEs
Paula, the CEO of Neur.on, took part in the Trust Valley Day panel discussion on October 5th: “Cyber Risks: SMEs Under Pressure. (Risques cyber : les PME sous pression)”
In the face of rising cyber threats targeting small and medium-sized businesses, we’re witnessing a growing trend where IT service providers, often the gateway to larger organizations, are becoming prime targets. SMEs find themselves caught between the risks of cyberattacks and the pressing need to enhance their cybersecurity maturity.
During the event, Paula emphasized the critical importance of testing AI solutions with local data and called for support in developing tailored infrastructures for Swiss SMEs eager to explore AI while ensuring the utmost data security.
In summary, this discussion highlighted the critical need to bolster cybersecurity for SMEs. The call to action is unequivocal: unite our strengths, share our knowledge, and collaborate closely to build a safer and more resilient ecosystem.

Can cybersecurity and data sovereignty continue to be a Swiss tradition? Or will the concept soon be seen as folkloric as our Alp horns?
The Trust Valley day at the Rolex Learning center – Epfl brought together stakeholders from politics, academia, cybersecurity, and the private sector, especially SMEs, to discuss the concrete challenges facing our country’s economy.
As NEUR.ON serves Swiss lawfirms, Swiss banks, and Swiss government agencies, addressing one of their weakest links in terms of data security (yes, legal translation projects represent a significant but often overlooked risk!), Lennig Pedron kindly invited us to share our experience as a Legaltech startup that places digital security at its core.
Here are some key takeaways from the panel on the pressure faced by SMEs and startups:
- State-of-the-art digital security demands substantial investments: infrastructure, processes, documentation, and, above all, a corresponding corporate culture shared at all levels and in all departments of the company, often amounting to a six-digit figure annually.
- Law firms and other SMEs outside of the ICT industry often lack the necessary resources and expertise to properly assess their suppliers’ safety levels, leaving them with no option but to “trust” or “hope for the best.”
- Specialized ICT providers, like Neur.on, can assume responsibility for specific process steps, but overall knowledge and awareness remain with the SME.
- Programs and associations like Trust4SMEs, the Swiss AI Center for SMEs of the HES-SO Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale, and the Swiss LegalTech Association are there to help with handbooks, white papers, and training.
However, the primary message from our clients and legaltech stakeholders is directed at the Swiss public sector and innovation programs:
Swiss SMEs and Swiss startups are eager to explore the potential of GenAI for their industry. To do this, they must be able to utilize their own data in conjunction with LLMs without worrying about data leakage or uncontrolled data flows. They urgently request a 100% Swiss infrastructure, not subject to the US Clouds Act or Patriot Act, to securely test different technologies.
Who is willing to help secure the necessary CHF 2.5 million for a Swiss SME sandbox?
Is Switzerland ready to play a role in the digitalization race?
Join Neur.on in our committment to ensuring the security and success of Swiss businesses on this journey.

Cohabitation entre LegalTech et métier d'avocat – alliés ou concurrents?
Contrairement à ce que pourraient craindre certain.e.s avocat.e.s, la majeure partie des outils LegalTech créés ces dernières années ont pour but de servir les professionnel.le.s du droit plutôt que de leur faire concurrence. Or, on entend autant d’entrepreneur.e.s LegalTech déçu.e.s de la réserve avec laquelle leur public cible accueille leurs solutions que d’avocat.e.s qui déplorent le manque d’adéquation des nouveaux outils qui leur sont proposés.
La nécessité de créer une passerelle entre la ferveur innovatrice des startups et les besoins concrets des métiers juridiques a poussé le barreau bruxellois, sous l’égide de Vinciane Gillet, à créer un incubateur sur mesure. En Suisse, il nous faut compter sur le soutien de la Swiss LegalTech Association et l’engagement de certaines études de pointe, qui acceptent la responsabilité de cocréation avec des LegalTech et investissent le temps et les ressources nécessaires à tester de nouveaux outils (merci Bär Karrer, Bratschi Ltd., Kellerhals Carrard, Jacquemoud Stanislas, pour n’en citer que quelques unes).
Ce fut l’un des thèmes abordés lors de la table ronde « LegalTech » de la journée de l’étude digitale organisée par la Conférence latine des bâtonniers, à laquelle j’ai eu le plaisir de participer aux côtés de Vinciane Gillet (GILLET-LEX) , Ariel Ben Hattar (Lenz & Staehelin) et Camille Auberson (Approovd).
Interrogée par Juliette Ancelle (id est avocats) et Stéphanie Chuffart-Finsterwald (sigma legal) sur les enseignements tirés en tant qu’entrepreneure LegalTech fondatrice de NEUR.ON, je dirais que la clé du succès d’un outil de technologie juridique est sa facilité d’utilisation. Les agendas surchargés des avocat.e.s ne laissent en effet pas de place à des formations techniques « en anticipation d’un besoin futur ». Par exemple, les besoins de #traductionjuridique d’une étude variant grandement d’une année à l’autre, une formation « hors contexte » des assistant.e.s ou stagaires à un outil de traduction serait une perte de temps. Les solutions doivent ainsi être suffisamment intuitives et logiques pour que l’avocat.e puisse obtenir le résultat escompté dès la première utilisation, en quelques clics, ou faire appel à un service clientèle réactif comblant les éventuelles lacunes de connaissances « ad hoc ».
Pour conclure avec un jeu de mots un peu facile, les maîtres mots pour une solution adaptée aux mains de maîtres sont donc:
- Adéquation avec les processus de travail des avocat.e.s – sans aucune ambition de les changer;
- Interface intuitive – ne nécessitant aucune formation préalable;
- Service clientèle adapté – y compris aux horaires de la profession et aux situations d’urgence.

We are honored to welcome Kilian Marty to Neur.on's Advisory Board as our Cyber Security Expert!
Kilian’s remarkable journey as the Head of the Cybersecurity Department at CertX AG – First Swiss accredited certification and inspection body for AI, cyber security and functional safety – make him a perfect cyber security watchdog.
As an auditor and assessor, he has deepened his expertise in state-of-the-art IT/OT security practices and now plays a pivotal role in training and certification services at the first Swiss certification body for functional safety and cybersecurity. With extensive experience as a cybersecurity consultant across diverse industries, including automotive, railway, energy, and healthcare companies, Kilian brings hands on experience implementing cyber security management systems, assessing related processes, and spotting weaknesses and deviations from best security practices.
In addition to Kilian, we are also privileged to have two other exceptional Advisory Board members.
Jean Hennebert, our Research & AI Advisor, and Brian Firlit, our Growth & Strategy Advisor, have been instrumental in shaping Neur.on’s progress, innovation and industry focus.
As Neur.on marks its first anniversary, we take pride in affirming that cybersecurity has been integral to our software development, DevOps environment, and process design since day one.

Our CEO & Founder, Paula Reichenberg, has been nominated as a "Digital Shaper 2023" by BILANZ Wirtschaftsmagazin, digitalswitzerland, PME, HANDELSZEITUNG and Innosuisse.
This recognition is a testament to the remarkable dedication and collaborative spirit of the entire Neur.on Team.
In the realm of “digital shaping,” success is a result of collective effort. This rings especially true in the legal industry, where the principles of Trust, Accuracy, and Ethics take precedence over fleeting notions of Profitability, Entrepreneurial Risk, … and sometimes Innovation.
Here at Neur.on, we firmly believe that genuine digitalization succeeds when:
- Technology Empowers, Not Overpowers: Our approach revolves around aligning technology seamlessly with lawyers’ workflows and professional requisites. It’s about harmonizing innovation with the essence of legal practice, without imposing unnecessary change.
- Transparency as the Cornerstone: We hold the principle of transparency dear. We refrain from hollow boasting and instead provide lawyers with accurate insights into the reliability of our results. Honest information empowers them to take informed actions.
- Empowering Human Expertise: While technology is a powerful ally, it can never replace the depth and breadth of human expertise. We champion the role of lawyers as the navigators of complexity, acknowledging that no algorithm can replicate their nuanced understanding of diverse situations.
Together, we’re dedicated to reshaping our industry into one that brings joy to all its stakeholders.

We are proud to highlight the incredible journey of Neur.on's COO, Orane Laeri. She has been featured in orientation.ch, where she shares her career path in the realm of language science, linguistics, and computational linguistics.
Orane’s academic voyage led her to the University of Geneva, where she pursued studies in translation. Fast forward to today, and she’s making waves as the Operations Manager at a dynamic LegalTech startup specializing in Neural Machine Translation.
Amid the rapid advancements in technology, Orane emphasizes that Neur.on’s objective isn’t to replace humans with machines, but to empower them with tailor-made tools. She rightly points out, “There’s reason to rejoice: the machine is a tool that makes our work more interesting.”
Reflecting on her entry into the professional sphere, Orane shares her journey from a translation internship in legal translation to her current leadership role.
Her advice to students: embrace the fusion of technology and linguistics, and adapt to the evolving landscape of the profession. Whether one gravitates toward the intricacies of language subtleties or the human-linguistics connection, there’s a niche waiting to be mastered.
I invite you to discover more about Orane’s trajectory by reading the full article here.

We are pleased to announce our acceptance into Trust Valley's prestigious 10-month Trust4SMEs support program, focusing on cybersecurity and digital trust for SMEs.
As a LegalTech company catering to law firms, Big4s, banks, insurance companies, and public authorities, data security is deeply ingrained in our values.
Right from the outset, we have made the conscious choice to uphold the highest standards of Information and AI Security (ISO 27001 and CertAI standards), an early commitment that may seem unconventional for a startup.
However, we firmly believe that cybersecurity should not be an afterthought once revenues start pouring in.
In light of this pledge, we have decided to invest all the necessary time and resources to walk the talk.
With that in mind, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Trust Valley and 40+ partners of the Trust4SMEs program for their support on our journey, including, among others, Canton de Vaud, République et Canton de Genève, EPFL Innovation Park, and to our coach Laura Tocmacov of impactIA Foundation.

Should AI startups be scared of the EU AI Act?
We were honored to have representatives from NEUR.ON, iCoSys, and CertX, along with other esteemed AI specialists from around the world, participate in The First University of St. Gallen Grand Challenge: The EU AI ACT. During this event, we focused on evaluating the compliance of 8 cutting-edge AI solutions, spanning robotics, process management, and NLP-analytics, with the current draft of the AI ACT. Our diverse team included experts in machine learning, legal, and ISO 27001 certification fields.
Click here to learn more in the Swiss National News broadcast!
- Here are our key takeaways:
The EU AI Act’s fundamental principles—such as human agency & oversight, technical robustness & safety, privacy & data governance, transparency, diversity, non-discrimination & fairness, and social & environmental impact—are well-designed, deemed fair, and essential for building widespread acceptance and trust in Artificial Intelligence. - However, for financially stretched startups, adhering to the Act’s requirements can be like a Damocles sword, consuming resources and slowing down development.
- Fortunately, there’s one compliance aspect that doesn’t require significant expenses but adds tremendous value, as observed during the Grand Challenge: AWARENESS of AI risks and a COMPANY CULTURE that prioritizes compliance and responsible growth.
Let’s work towards fostering an AI industry that embraces compliance, responsible development, and a culture of trust.
Thank you Thomas Burri for organizing such a spectacular challenge, thank you SRF – Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen for reporting on the event, and thank you to all our team members: Jean Hennebert, Orane Laeri, Yael Iseli, Arman Iranfar, Marco Repetto Ph. D.

Neur.on wins first prize at the elevator pitch competition
LegalTech champions be thanked!
We would like to express our gratitude to Weblaw, Coop Rechtsschutz AG, YLEX & UBS for actively supporting LegalTech Swiss Startups.
Delivering elevator pitches is never a startuper’s favourite sport – but for legal techies, whose products are always considered technical and – let’s be honest – a little boring, the exercise can be particularly unrewarding.
Allowing us to pitch in front of a savvy and tech-friendly audience of legal professionals and potential clients has therefore been a much appreciated privilege.
And of course, winning first prize thanks to the audience vote is particularly gratifying!
Long live the Weblaw LegalTech forum!

LegalTech Summer Eve à Genève : L’IA ne changera RIEN au métier d’avocat.e ?!
Ce soir, les avocat.e.s genevois.e.s s’échangent sur la LegalTech avec les artisans de leurs outils préférés, EyeTeK et Neur.on.
Parmi les « thèses disruptives » présentées ce soir, une affirmation particulièrement périlleuse et alléchante :
L’IA ne changera RIEN au métier d’avocat.e
Pourquoi ? Parce que l’IA excelle avant tout dans les tâches :
- que les avocat.e.s N’AIMENT PAS exécuter (vérification de la cohérence de notes de bas de page)
- que les avocat.e.s N’ONT PAS LE TEMPS d’effectuer (tagger et résumer les articles qui les intéressent)
- que certain.e.s NE SAVENT PAS bien faire (orthographe, grammaire, traduction).

Christmas Get-Together – for Lawyers, LegalTechies, and their families
AI builds the very core of Neur.on’s products and strategy. To create reliable and practical solutions, however, we must be fully aware of and embrace AI’s limitations – making up for them with ingenuity, inventiveness and the many other purely human skills that machine will NEVER be able to compete with: warmth, camaraderie, conviviality and empathy.
We would like to extend a warm thank you to all the lawyers and professionals in the LegalTech community, along with their families, that joined us last Saturday to share hot drinks and good laughs.
A special thanks to the amazing staff at Schipfe 16, supported by the Social Department of Stadt Zürich, that made this event even more special thanks to their professionalism and kindness.
We wish you and your families a happy holiday season!

What Lawyers in Asset Management expect from LegalTech? What are the most efficient strategies to select and implement useful AI solutions in a legal department?
Being a lawyer in asset management requires a multitude of talents and a good dose of resilience, particularly in a legal-department-of-one. Facing an ever-changing regulatory environment and blurry compliance definitions, juggling between contractual work and inhouse legal issues, lawyers in asset management could use all the help they can get from technology.
What LegalTech tools can they implement immediately to get better, faster and more economical results?
On the invitation of Andreas Hinsen and Julien Cayet of Loyens & Loeff, our CEO, Paula Reichenberg, and Jordan Urstadt from PartnerVine discussed concrete solutions and use cases at the Lawyers in Asset Management (LAM) inaugural conference, co-organized with Aruna Arasu from Alpha Associates and Nicky Walsh from Astra Legal.

Our CEO was a panelist at the 2022 BDÜ e.V. - die qualifizierten Dolmetscher und Übersetzer conference
Our CEO, Paula Reichenberg, had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion on working in and with law firms at the BDÜ e.V. – die qualifizierten Dolmetscher und Übersetzer conference, alongside Karen Rückert and Dirk Poppendieck. The discussion was moderated by Richard Delaney.
Karen’s key takeaway from the panel discussion is that “Good translations are the result of open communication between lawyers and translators. But this does not mean that lawyers should be mind readers. Translators need to be confident enough to ask the right questions to get the information they need to produce a translation which is fit for its intended purpose and they must ask them in such a way that lawyers understand why it is worth their time to provide the answers. Translators and lawyers must meet at the interface of law and language in order to ensure that clients get the service they want and need.“
Paula added to this summary that lawyers expect translators not to deny the potential of machine translation , while translators wish lawyers did not overestimate it.
