Paula Reichenberg featured by UBS for her approach to leadership

We are proud to announce that our CEO and founder, Paula Reichenberg, has been featured by UBS in a LinkedIn post on her distinctive approach to leadership: building on transparency, expertise and the strength of a well-chosen team.

For Paula, self-reflection and openness are not weaknesses. They are major strengths, especially in fast-growing start-ups, where strong collaboration is essential to success.

At Neur.on AI Solutions, Paula applies this philosophy to lead our LegalTech innovation. Her aim: secure, AI-based solutions that simplify the complex multilingual workflows of lawyers and international legal experts.

Paula Reichenberg at LegalTechTalk in London, 26 and 27 June 2025

Neur.on CEO Paula Reichenberg will attend LegalTechTalk on 26 and 27 June at the InterContinental London - The O2. With more than 4,000 participants and over 300 speakers, LegalTechTalk has become one of the most influential legal innovation events in Europe.

Paula Reichenberg, CEO of Neur.on, is part of UBS’s Female Founder Project 2025

From 2.10pm to 2.35pm, EPFL professor Rachid Guerraoui and Neur.on’s CEO will discuss the ‘shock’ Switzerland has faced since AI proved to be far more than a passing trend.

If you are more interested in talks and debates on fending off cyberattacks, on Switzerland’s digital sovereignty in the face of the US tech giants, or on what blockchain can offer companies, the day should also have plenty for you.

Some 500 participants from all over Switzerland are expected, in particular SMEs from French-speaking Switzerland, academic players, research institutes, start-ups and large companies. This makes the event an ideal place to broaden your network.

Geneva International Legal Week 2025: a panel on profitable AI with Paula Reichenberg

“Marketing to lawyers is very different from selling wine.”

“At the time, you heard about the running shoe 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.”

Paula Reichenberg shares her mistakes on stage at the Digital Economy Award 2024

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 posts talk about success. The upsides, the travel, the smiling networking photos. (We know, of course, that we all do it, even Paula.)

Of the remaining 3%, two per cent argue for more honest communication about failures and mistakes.

And the last one per cent REALLY shows the missteps, so that others can learn from them and avoid them.

Paula Reichenberg, CEO of Neur.on, is a strong advocate of learning from mistakes. If you would like to learn from hers, save the date: 14 November.

Paula will speak at the Digital Economy Award 2024 at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, at the ‘AI Sandbox’ event to be precise.

From 3pm to 4pm, Andrea Fossati of Parquery, Cristiano Malossi of IBM Research and Paula will discuss what they experienced in their past ventures.

Information security: Neur.on achieves ISO 27001 certification

What do you think is the main concern of LegalTech and FinTech companies when they work with new suppliers? In our experience, it is information security.

After all, in these sectors, handling client data according to protocol is not a gimmicky extra. It is absolutely essential.

And while our smiling faces may not show it, we take this subject very seriously. So seriously that we have achieved 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 protecting information have been thoroughly checked by an official third-party body.

And as you can imagine, we will not stop there: this T-shirt is only the first in our security fashionista’s wardrobe. More will be printed soon. Because IT security is already woven into everything we do.

BILANZ 2024 ranking: Neur.on 13th among the most innovative companies and 2nd for innovation culture

In its October 2024 issue, BILANZ Wirtschaftsmagazin presents its ranking of “Switzerland’s most innovative companies”, recently compiled with Statista and PME.

Neur.on appears twice: in the overall ranking of the top 80 most innovative Swiss companies, we reached 13th place. And in the ‘Innovation Culture’ category, we even came second. (Congratulations to Numarics on taking pole position.)

It really pays not only to nurture a fast-paced team of thinkers, testers and tinkerers, but also to let that team fully live this culture of open innovation. So much so that it is ready to share its satisfaction if major national publications or a well-known statistics portal were, hypothetically, to send your team survey links about how you work internally. (Just in case, you know.)

Neur.on joins the Kickstart Innovation cohort in the Finance & Insurance vertical

We have officially joined this year’s Kickstart Innovation cohort, in our Finance & Insurance vertical.

At the opening ceremony on Tuesday, the entrepreneurial spirit was palpable, and I had the pleasure of pitching Neur.on to the programme partners, investors and my peers.

A week of talks and meetings follows in Zurich and Fribourg, with national and international collaboration partners, experienced mentors, subject-matter specialists and like-minded colleagues.

What is the goal of all this? Kickstart Innovation helps us find new clients by matching them with our respective cohorts and starting the conversation. All under the watchful eye of the Kickstart team, and in particular of Katka Letzing, whose favourite line is: “If you don’t sign PoC agreements by the end of the month, I will find you.”

The highly motivated people around me are Pascal Sollberger and Tobias Wegmüller (both at hypt), Markus Geissler and Elisabetta Maria Chiarantoni (both at Kickstart Innovation), Ravina Mutha of enterprisebot, and Mathias Höllerl of Keyless.

LegalTechTalk 2024 in London: three gold nuggets on reinventing law firms

How law firms are reinventing their operating models and their relationships with general counsel: three gold nuggets from Legal Innovation panellists at LegalTechTalk 2024 in London.

These insights come from James Lane, Jordan Lee and Line Lolk Thomsen, with whom Neur.on CEO Paula Reichenberg discussed the topic “How Law Firms Reinvent their Operating Models and Relationships with General Counsels”.

Key takeaways from the LegalTechTalk 2024 conference in London

“I refuse to pay for information I already have.” General counsel and law firms compared their views on trust, efficiency and the place of technology in legal services.

Neur.on wins the Swiss FinTech Awards 2024 in the Early-Stage category

It felt like coming home…

Last night, the jury of the Swiss FinTech Awards 2024 named Neur.on the winner of the ‘Early-Stage Startup’ category.

Having pitched in many places, we usually come across the same questions. “Why would I need a specialised AI-powered translation engine?” “Haven’t you heard of DeepL?” “My six-year-old could translate this document online.”

But the Swiss FinTech Awards were different.

Here, it felt as if the whole room GOT us. The people there knew that an ordinary online translation service can guarantee neither a secure platform for client data nor language that is specific to the finance and legal markets and matches the professionalism expected of them.

Thank you, Swiss FinTech Awards, for that warm feeling of finally being at home.

LegalTechTalk 2024 in London: reinventing the law firm operating model

Why should law firms change their model, and how should they go about it? James Lane, Line Lolk Thomsen and Jordan Lee share their experience on a panel moderated by Paula Reichenberg.

SAV Female Lawyers’ Day in Bern, 5 February 2024: inspiring career paths

From the group general counsel of a global company to partners at international law firms, the Female Lawyers’ Day (Journée des Avocates, Tag der Anwältinnen), organised in Bern by the Swiss Bar Association (Schweizerischer Anwaltsverband, SAV) on 5 February 2024, brought together inspiring women from all walks of life.

Are women lawyers more prone to ‘professional accidents’?

Surprisingly, one theme kept coming up in their remarkable careers: they attributed their success to ‘accidents’ (‘un concours de circonstances’ or ‘Zufall’).

Yet as we listened to their stories, it became clear that excellence, boldness, strategic seizing of opportunities and authenticity are far more plausible explanations.

Many thanks to the wonderful organiser, Sandra De Vito Bieri, for setting up this mentoring opportunity. Thanks also to Birgit Sambeth for bringing the Female Lawyers’ Day to life. To all the moderators and panellists: thank you for your candid stories and valuable advice.

Our business angel Jaana Goeggel named a Top Woman Investor in Latin American Tech

In this Innovation Sandbox, Paula Reichenberg, CEO and founder of Neur.on, and Simona Todesco, COO of Textshuttle, together with Raphael von Thiessen, explain the challenges of legal translation with specialised artificial intelligence and show how to produce secure and adaptable machine translations.

Watch now: https://youtu.be/yZKDzhTlfcA

We all know how to use DeepL to translate half a page quickly.

But what about a 60-page contract, or 500 pages of exhibits in highly confidential arbitration proceedings? What can AI do to help you, and what are the best practices for running a legal translation project efficiently?

Solving the challenges of legal translation with specialised AI: that is Neur.on’s mission.

At this BrownBag lunch, you will learn about the new possibilities offered by the latest technology, along with tools you can use right away to work more efficiently and turn tedious legal translations into a real pleasure.

Le Temps names Paula Reichenberg to its 2023 ‘Forum des 100’

Le Temps has named Neur.on’s CEO a member of the ‘Forum des 100’, which recognises 100 influential figures who have done much to raise the profile of French-speaking Switzerland in 2023.

By naming our CEO, Paula Reichenberg, among the 100 figures who raise the profile of French-speaking Switzerland, Le Temps highlights the importance of efficient, high-quality legal translation solutions for our country’s competitiveness and digital fitness.

In an increasingly multipolar world, a precise and reliable understanding of foreign legal concepts and documents is key to economic and political success.

Swiss data sovereignty and security are essential for impartial negotiations and for a proactive defence against power struggles between intelligence services.

Today, at the SwissTech Convention Center of EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne), Dominique Mégret of Swisscom Ventures highlighted Switzerland’s ‘luxury watchmaking’ DNA, present in every sector. Wherever great precision, the ability to decode complexity and an understanding of global diversity are required, we have a natural advantage. Let us build on this strength by investing the human and financial resources needed for Swiss digital innovation to succeed globally.

Paula Reichenberg joins the Industrial Board of the Swiss AI Center for SMEs (CSIA-PME)

Let us make safe and secure AI accessible to all Swiss SMEs.

Paula Reichenberg, CEO and founder of Neur.on, has recently been appointed to the Industrial Board of the Swiss AI Center for SMEs (CSIA-PME), led by HES-SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland.

For a committed start-up founder and LegalTech CEO, taking on an extra responsibility is not an obvious choice.

However, the Swiss AI Center, co-founded by Professor Jean Hennebert to serve small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and ICT start-ups, takes such a pragmatic, entrepreneur-focused approach that Paula was convinced she could contribute simply by voicing the pressing needs of innovative companies in Switzerland. To name just a few: data sovereignty and the matching Swiss GPU infrastructure, transparency of data sources and data flows in generative AI, and clear, business-compatible guidelines and rules for AI certification.

We look forward to exchanges with entrepreneurs from every sector.

LegalTech and lawyers: allies or competitors? Lessons from the digital law firm day

Most LegalTech tools aim to serve lawyers, not to compete with them. Yet adoption remains difficult. A fit with working processes, an intuitive interface and responsive customer service: three keys to success.

MIDS 2023 conference in Geneva: Paula Reichenberg on the adoption of generative AI

More than 200 lawyers and arbitrators gathered for the 15th anniversary of the Master in International Dispute Settlement. Alongside Professor Jacques de Werra, Paula Reichenberg drew parallels between generative AI and machine translation.

e-forum 2023: the metaverse, AI, cybersecurity & co., opportunities and challenges for companies

In September 2023, the eForum in Zurich looked at the finer points of the metaverse, AI and cybersecurity.

Paula Reichenberg, CEO of Neur.on, moderated a discussion on the ‘Pains and Gains’ of digitalisation.

The panel featured Dr Luba Schönig, co-founder of UMushroom, and Marcel Gygli, a professor specialising in AI in the public sector at the University of Bern.

Participants gained useful insight into companies that have integrated AI smoothly into their operating model. They also gained a better understanding of the societal, ethical and data security issues that will be decisive in the future. The analyses of AI’s impact on the public sector and the business world sparked a lively dialogue with the audience. It highlighted the concerns shared by both employees and decision-makers in the sector.

Neur.on joins Trust4SMEs, Trust Valley’s cybersecurity programme for SMEs

We are pleased to announce our admission to Trust Valley’s prestigious ten-month Trust4SMEs support programme, dedicated to cybersecurity and digital trust for SMEs.

Our LegalTech company serves law firms, the Big Four, banks, insurance companies and public authorities: data security is deeply rooted in our values.

From the outset, we made the deliberate choice to meet the most demanding standards in information and AI security (ISO 27001 and CertAI standards), an early commitment that may seem unusual for a start-up.

But we firmly believe that cybersecurity should not be an afterthought, postponed until revenue starts flowing in.

True to this commitment, we have decided to invest all the time and resources needed to walk the talk.

With this in mind, we warmly thank Trust Valley and the more than 40 partners of the Trust4SMEs programme for their support throughout our journey, including the Canton of Vaud, the Republic and Canton of Geneva and EPFL Innovation Park, as well as our coach Laura Tocmacov of the impactIA Foundation.

Neur.on wins first prize in the elevator pitch competition at the Weblaw LegalTech forum

Thank you to the LegalTech champions.

We would like to thank Weblaw, Coop Rechtsschutz AG, YLEX and UBS for actively supporting Swiss LegalTech start-ups.

Delivering an elevator pitch is never a start-up founder’s favourite sport. But for LegalTech players, whose products are always seen as technical and, to be honest, a little boring, the exercise can be particularly thankless.

Being able to pitch to a savvy, tech-friendly audience of legal professionals and potential clients was therefore a much appreciated privilege.

And of course, winning first prize through the audience vote is particularly rewarding.

Long live the Weblaw LegalTech forum.

Neur.on at the LegalTech Summer Eve in Geneva: will AI change NOTHING for lawyers?

AI will change NOTHING about the work of lawyers

Why? Because AI excels above all at tasks:

Neur.on CTO Yann-Ivain Beffa presents “AI for Legal document Analysis” at the AI Days

ChatGPT and Dall-e have captured the public imagination and opened the world’s eyes to the remarkable potential of artificial intelligence.

Neur.on’s Christmas get-together for lawyers, LegalTech players and their families

AI is at the very core of Neur.on’s products and strategy. To create reliable and practical solutions, however, we must be fully aware of AI’s limits and accept them. We make up for them with ingenuity, inventiveness and the many other purely human skills that machines will NEVER be able to match: warmth, camaraderie, conviviality and empathy.

We warmly thank all the lawyers and professionals of the LegalTech community, and their families, who joined us last Saturday for hot drinks and good laughs.

Special thanks to the wonderful team at Schipfe 16, supported by the Social Services Department of the City of Zurich, who made this event even more special with their professionalism and kindness.

What lawyers in asset management expect from LegalTech: Neur.on at the LAM conference

What do lawyers working in asset management expect from LegalTech? What are the most effective strategies for selecting and implementing useful AI solutions in a legal department?
