Swisslex

What It Does

Swisslex (Banque suisse de données juridiques SA / Schweizerische Juristische Datenbank AG) is a Swiss legal research database. It provides access to Swiss legislation, case law, commentary, specialist journals, and legal literature, and serves law firms, public authorities, companies, and the academic sector.

What We Found

The company has operated since 1986 and is headquartered in the Kloten/Zurich area of Switzerland. Public directories describe a team in the range of roughly 20-49 people; we record an 11-50 band here. The vendor reports a large corpus (570+ commentary volumes, 85+ specialist journals, 6,000+ books, ~760,000 judgments) and around 15,000 professional plus 23,000 academic users running roughly 139,000 searches per month. Those are vendor-published figures. The previously listed LinkedIn handle (“pplex”) did not resolve to this company and has been replaced with the correct swisslex-sa company page.

What We Haven’t Verified

• Corpus size and usage figures are vendor-published, not independently audited
• Pricing — subscription model, tiers not publicly confirmed
• No independent reviews found on major software platforms
• Prior LinkedIn follower count was tied to an unrelated handle and has been removed
