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.

Everyone on an equal footing when it comes to speeding!

19 June 2025
by Pascal Rytz
Everyone is equal when it comes to speeding! When it comes to speeding, a distinction is made between minor, medium and serious offences, depending on the extent to which the police have observed that the driver has exceeded the speed limit and the place where the offence was committed. In fact, the threshold for these different offences is not the same in a 30 km/h zone, in a...
