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.

Just a minute, I want to keep this faulty item!

17 November 2025
by Pascal Rytz
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....

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? Marc, Annemasse Your wife can be insured in Switzerland, but...

When it comes to competition, it's better to go straight than too fast

6 April 2026
by Pascal Rytz
I've left my job as a manager in a service company. A number of clients terminated their contracts with this company to follow me into my own business. Some colleagues from my former team have also spontaneously joined me. My former employer is now accusing me of unfair competition and is seeking compensation. Can they? L,...

Smile, you're being filmed!

20 October 2025
by Pascal Rytz
As I often travel by motorbike, I'd like to get a dashcam so that I can film any accidents on the road and better protect myself in the event of a dispute. A policeman friend of mine told me that recordings are not admissible in court. I wonder if he's right? B, Nyon Not exactly, but it's not...

Out of order but not outlawed!

13 October 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I'm lucky enough to work for a young, dynamic company. At the end of the last afterwork organised by the company, an employee made inappropriate gestures or comments towards a trainee. The trainee has now accused him of sexually harassing her that evening. Our employer has been informed of the situation and is questioning the conduct...

When medication does not mean free consent

8 October 2025
by Pascal Rytz
Bedridden in hospital after an operation and under the effect of morphine, I bought a pretty bracelet on an online auction site that I had absolutely no use for! I don't know what came over me and I don't think my state of health allowed me to conclude this sale. Is there any way...

Give up your pension in the name of equality!

29 September 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I'm 54 years old, I've been widowed for a long time and my two adult children are now independent: they don't cost me anything any more, except perhaps a fondue from time to time. I receive a pension that enables me to make ends meet. A friend told me that I was in danger of losing it under...

Ink or pixels? The power of signatures

22 September 2025
by Pascal Rytz
My father has his old habits. He only signs contracts with his fountain pen, convinced that a real signature should smell of blue ink. My sister, much to his chagrin, has just emailed him a rental contract that she signed... with a simple 'click' on her smartphone. As for my mother, who is interested in...
