What Alpinum does as an ALSP

From lawyers for lawyers

With our “Legal for Legal” approach, we understand your requirements and deliver tailored solutions. Our experience enables us to integrate highly qualified legal and compliance experts into your team.

We combine legal expertise with technological efficiency and a fully automated backend. This is how we ensure a smooth, fast and efficient matching process that takes the pressure off your department.

As an alternative legal service provider, we strengthen your legal and compliance department with flexible, personal and needs-based support. Alpinum is not a law firm and does not provide independent legal advice: our professionals work within your team – under your professional direction in staff leasing, and on their own responsibility within the agreed mandate in freelancing.

Since 2023

Our Journey

Built on Expertise. Driven by Innovation. Designed to Scale.

From a bold vision to a technology-driven Alternative Legal Service Provider.

  1. 2023

    1. The Beginning of Alpinum Solutions

      Alpinum Solutions was founded with a clear vision: to redefine how businesses access specialised Legal & Compliance expertise through flexible, high-quality workforce solutions.

  2. 2024

    1. Establishing Our Swiss Presence

      We opened our Zurich office, laying the foundation for our growth and bringing specialised Legal & Compliance expertise closer to clients across Switzerland.

    2. 25+ Specialists on Assignment

      An important early milestone: more than 25 Legal & Compliance professionals supporting our clients, demonstrating the growing demand for our flexible workforce solutions.

    3. Expanding into Germany

      With our expansion into Frankfurt, we entered Europe’s largest economy, strengthening our cross-border capabilities and opening new opportunities for clients and professionals.

    4. Delivering at Scale

      We successfully deployed a team of more than 15 specialists for a major financial services project, marking an important step from individual interim placements towards large-scale project delivery.

    5. 100 Successful Placements

      We celebrated our first 100 successful placements, reflecting the trust of our clients and the strength of our growing network of Legal & Compliance professionals.

  3. 2025

    1. Innovation Through Automation

      We introduced contract automation and AI-supported candidate matching, accelerating our processes and combining human expertise with intelligent technology.

    2. Building Operational Excellence

      As our business scaled, so did our operations. We strengthened our internal infrastructure and standardised key workflows across recruitment, contracting, onboarding and assignment management, creating the foundation for efficient, scalable service delivery.

  4. 2026

    1. A New Chapter in Zurich

      We moved into our new office in the heart of Zurich, creating additional space for our growing team and strengthening our headquarters for the next phase of expansion.

    2. Expansion into Austria — Completing Our DACH Presence

      With our expansion into Austria, Alpinum Solutions established a presence across Switzerland, Germany and Austria. This milestone strengthened our position as a cross-border Alternative Legal Service Provider serving the entire DACH market.

    3. Scaling from Specialists to Project Teams

      Our services continued to evolve beyond individual interim placements. We increasingly support clients with coordinated teams of Legal & Compliance professionals, providing flexible capacity for complex projects, regulatory initiatives and business-critical assignments.

    4. 120+ Assignments Annually

      We reached more than 120 client assignments per year, supported by a network of over 7,500 interviewed and vetted Legal & Compliance professionals. From individual interim experts to entire project teams, our solutions continue to grow in scale and complexity.

    5. In development

      Building Our Own Technology Platform

      We began developing the next generation of our proprietary technology platform, AlpinumHub 2.0. Designed to connect talent management, recruitment, contracting, onboarding, workforce operations and financial processes in one integrated ecosystem, the platform represents a major step towards a more automated, data-driven and scalable operating model.

  5. The Future

    1. Outlook

      Shaping the Next Generation of Legal & Compliance Services

      Our ambition is to combine exceptional human expertise, intelligent technology and operational excellence to build a new standard for flexible Legal & Compliance services across Europe.
