Kernrechtsfrage
Whether a full-time employed lawyer may be entered in the cantonal register despite Art. 8(1)(d) BGFA
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes, if the employment arrangement and organizational safeguards show that the private legal practice is conducted independently and outside the employer relationship.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court construed independence functionally and institutionally: the relevant question is whether the employer can influence the lawyer’s private mandate work. A blanket exclusion of employed lawyers would be disproportionate and contrary to the BGFA’s purpose; independence is lacking only where the employment creates a real risk of influence or conflicts.
