Our PHILOSOPHY

Our logo illustrates our vision of the profession: judicial and extra-judicial strategy is akin to a game of chess. Defending the essential interests of our clients is like completing a chess bypass, where the rook comes to protect the king.

At LITIS, every case is treated with the same seriousness, regardless of its importance. We strive to guide our clients through the legal maze, seeking effective solutions while limiting the emotional and financial impact. Aware of the risks and costs associated with litigation, we favour amicable solutions wherever possible. Often, a simple letter or preliminary meeting is enough to resolve a conflict without recourse to the courts.

Our areas of expertise:

Common criminal law

Criminal tax law

Family law

Foreign law

Prosecution and bankruptcy law
