LITIS is a law firm located in the La Côte region, more specifically in Nyon. Its founder, Marc Cheseaux, and his associates defend the interests of both individuals and corporate entities before cantonal and federal authorities.

Counter to the current trend towards consolidation, the human scale of LITIS enables us to provide our clients with personalized services.

 

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

Our logo sums up our attitude to the profession. Judicial and extra-judicial strategy is akin to playing chess. Defending the customer's fundamental interest is akin to the rocade, the movement by which the rook places itself in protection of the King.

At LITIS, whatever the apparent importance of a case, we treat it seriously. Furthermore, we strive to guide our clients through the legal maze, favoring the outcome while limiting the emotional and financial implications. Finally, given the risks and costs involved in litigation, we always examine the possibility of a transactional solution first. Indeed, experience shows that a simple letter or a preliminary meeting can sometimes resolve a conflict without necessarily having to go before a judicial authority..

 

Our areas of expertise:

Common criminal law

Criminal tax law

Family law

Foreign law

Prosecution and bankruptcy law
