Bar
Lawyers with complementary skills and specialisations, we act in every area of the law. We advise and defend you, whether before administrative authorities, the courts of Valais, the Federal Supreme Court or arbitral tribunals.
What we do
Expertise
Étude du Ritz practises two complementary professions: the bar, across every area of the law, and the notarial practice.
Notarial practice
We draft and execute deeds relating to real estate, companies, family matters and successions, and handle the entire process through to registration in the land register or the commercial register.
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.
