Espace Legal

Real estate and construction law, business law, law of persons and family Law

Pascal Rytz

Founder of Espace Legal, he is driven by a deep conviction that law is a powerful tool for resolving even the most complex challenges.

After earning his Master’s degree in Law from the University of Geneva in 1994 and being admitted to the bar in 1998, Pascal built a distinguished career by founding and co-leading several law firms in Geneva and the canton of Vaud. Clients may recognize him from his work with Solutions Avocats, Arc Avocats, or more recently, AAA Avocats.

In 2020, as the world adapted to new ways of working, Pascal combined his passion for law and technology to create a more agile and client-focused legal service model. This vision led to the development of Espace Legal, where streamlined communication and digital tools offer clients greater flexibility and efficiency.

I don't want to look stupid in 2026!

19 January 2026
by Pascal Rytz
After a superb holiday on an island paradise, I was sad to have to return and face the cold of Switzerland. I couldn't stand the attitude of some passengers during the flight, to the point where I insulted some of them... A stewardess calmed me down by saying that I risked being arrested when I got off the plane...

A festive intrusion?

5 January 2026
by Pascal Rytz
Christmas is coming and I'm getting ready to put our stockings in front of the fireplace. My children are excited, but my eldest, who is very articulate and loves her law classes, explained to me that by breaking into our house, Father Christmas could be committing trespassing... Brigitte, Canton of Geneva Your daughter's question...

All that glitters is not gold

15 December 2025
by Pascal Rytz
For Christmas, I ordered a piece of jewellery from a high-end brand for my mum. I found it at a very attractive price on an Asian website. However, I received a letter from customs informing me that my parcel had been seized and that I could face problems... What's happening to me? Kendall Every year, many...

The problem with certain evidence is well known!

8 December 2025
by Pascal Rytz
Interested in law and a fan of TV series about justice, I attended a civil hearing at court. I noticed that in Switzerland, too, each party must prove their case before the judge. However, I wondered whether facts that are well known to everyone are subject to the same requirement...

What happens at the barracks, stays at the barracks?

1st December 2025
by Pascal Rytz
My son had a road accident during his military service and was convicted. What consequences will this have for him in civilian life? Muriel, Geneva Your concern is legitimate, but rest assured: a military conviction does not necessarily mean an indelible stain on your son's record. Unlike...

Playing the woods, sensibly?

24 November 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I would like to invite my friends to a big tactical game in the forest. Just for fun, among ourselves, with a few obstacles, smoke (organic, of course) and victory cries. If it catches on – who knows? – I will try to launch my own outdoor adventure concept. But before organising everything...

I bought a table whose design I really like, but unfortunately it was damaged when it was delivered to my home. After too many discussions, the seller is unable to repair or exchange it and is only offering me a full refund and the return of the goods. I want to keep this piece of furniture...

The legacy of the distant uncle is not always American

10 November 2025
by Pascal Rytz
A slightly bohemian friend, a fan of the Indian summer, divorced many years ago, had children from a first union with whom relations have become distant or even non-existent since they frequent the Champs-Elysées. He is now whistling up the hill with a new partner, without being married, and has no other children....

Health insurance for cross-border commuters

6 April 2026
by Pascal Rytz
As a French national, I work in Switzerland as a cross-border commuter and am affiliated to LaMal. I recently married a charming French woman who is not currently working, so I'm wondering how to insure her. Friends have told me that she has to be affiliated in Switzerland. Is this true?
