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.

Public transport, but individual responsibility

27 August 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I have a 20-franc TPG card that can be debited from terminals at stops or on buses. The other day, I got on at a stop that didn't have a terminal, and there weren't any on the bus either. It took me 15 stops to get a ticket! The driver...

When sex takes an accidental turn

7 July 2025
by Pascal Rytz
In spite of myself, I overheard a discussion in a café that stunned me: a young woman was explaining to her friend that she had discovered that her partner had hidden his HIV-positive status from her for more than three years, while continuing to have unprotected sex, and had passed on this horrible infection to her! She said she had told him about it as an accident...

Freedom of association: should we be splitting hairs?

2 July 2025
by Pascal Rytz
"I'm a member of a student association that glorifies the mullet: only people with this legendary mane can join. We hold conferences and hair evenings. However, the university has just withdrawn our official label, deeming the exclusion of non-mulets to be discriminatory! We're walking on thin ice, aren't we? Your association can certainly continue...

Not just anyone can be served with a summons!

9 July 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I went away on a trip for a few months and on my return I was surprised to receive a "notice of seizure" from the debt collection office. They explained that proceedings had been brought against me and that a summons to pay had been served on the friend who was looking after my flat and feeding...

Welcome to the development zone!

23 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I've been looking for a house to buy at a reasonable price for a long time, and I was lucky enough to be offered a preview of a flat in a development zone in Geneva. I was just about to sign a reservation agreement when my application was rejected on the sole grounds that I live in the canton of Vaud,...

Freedom of expression is a (legal) weapon

23 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I was struck by your column last Saturday, in which you explained that a gun made using a 3D printer could be considered a weapon and that, without authorisation, you risked criminal sanctions. However, I had heard of the case of a journalist who had made such a gun but had not been...

Seller's error: who bears the costs?

23 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
Several months ago, I bought a new television from a major retailer and paid for the carefully selected model, which an employee loaded into my car. Now the salesman has contacted me to tell me that I have been delivered a visually similar but technically different set. He has asked me to return the device...

Partial loan: lucrative idea or trap? What is a partial loan? What is its purpose?

23 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I'm planning to lend some property developer friends some of my savings to maximise their returns. They've offered to do me a favour by signing a "part loan", but I have no idea what that entails. Can you give me some advice? D., Chêne-Bourg The partial loan is indeed a financial tool...

Is this commission excessive?

23 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
I inherited a property that I didn't want to keep. A friend recommended an independent broker. The three of us met in a café to discuss selling my property, as I knew nothing about this field. I found the broker to be competent and his motivation convinced me to sign up with him...
