Trusted by Swiss companies entering the US market
LEXR supported our financing round with U.S. institutional investors. The team understood what our investors expected and embedded those requirements into the documentation and deal process. Their command of both Swiss and U.S. market standards allowed for an efficient transaction close.
How we solve your challenges
From choosing the right US structure to ongoing compliance — one integrated team across Switzerland and the US.
We help you evaluate the best legal vehicle for your US market entry — Delaware C-Corp, LLC, branch or a full Delaware Flip — factoring in your investor expectations, tax exposure, and operational footprint. Our Swiss and US attorneys work together so you get coordinated advice across both sides of the Atlantic.
We handle the end-to-end incorporation process: state filings, registered agent, EIN, initial board and shareholder resolutions, and cap-table setup. We make sure your Delaware entity is investor-ready from day one.
From SaaS agreements and enterprise deals to NDAs, partnership agreements and vendor contracts — our US-qualified attorneys draft and negotiate commercial contracts that reflect US market standards and protect your business.
State compliance filings, annual reports, corporate housekeeping, IP registration and employment agreements for US hires — we keep your US entity compliant so you can focus on growth.
Many Swiss scale-ups need simultaneous action in Switzerland and the US. Our integrated team coordinates cap table changes, shareholder approvals, and financing documentation across both jurisdictions without dropped balls or duplicated work.

US Expansion FAQ
The questions Swiss founders ask us most before crossing the Atlantic.
Most venture-backed Swiss tech companies choose a Delaware C-Corp because US institutional investors — VCs, angels and accelerators — strongly prefer it. An LLC can work for sales subsidiaries or joint ventures where you are not raising US equity. We walk you through both options in a free first call.
A Delaware Flip restructures your Swiss company so that a newly formed Delaware entity becomes the parent holding company. US investors often require this because it allows them to invest under familiar Delaware corporate law. Whether you need a Flip depends on your investor mix and long-term plans — we help you decide before committing.
A standard Delaware C-Corp can be incorporated in one to two business days once we have your information. EIN registration and bank account setup add a few more days. We run the process in parallel so you are operational as quickly as possible.
For US commercial contracts, investor negotiations governed by US law, and US employment agreements, yes. Our New York team is US-qualified and works alongside your LEXR Swiss lawyer — so you get one coordinated team rather than two firms that have never met.
At a minimum: annual Delaware franchise tax and registered agent, a federal tax return (even if no US revenue yet), and corporate housekeeping such as annual board and shareholder resolutions. We offer a maintenance package so nothing slips through.
Yes. Many Swiss companies sell to US customers before setting up a US entity. Our US team reviews and drafts SaaS agreements, enterprise contracts and NDAs to US market standards — regardless of where your entity sits.
