Who we are

Team

Étude du Ritz is a general practice firm of lawyers and notaries, active for over twenty years in the heart of the capital of Valais.

Valais is a canton of tradition. From the autumn of 1990, the need to combine strong and complementary skills within a single firm of lawyers and notaries led four members of the Sion bar to envisage a full and integrated partnership.
