Lawyer in Martigny

Martigny is the seat of the Tribunal des districts de Martigny et St-Maurice (Martigny and St-Maurice district court), competent for civil, family and criminal cases in the Martigny and Saint-Maurice districts. A divorce, a contract dispute or a criminal case brought by the public prosecutor is heard there. Your lawyer explains the procedure, the time limits and the documents to gather.

No. Municipalities in the Entremont, such as Orsières or Val de Bagnes, where Verbier lies, do not come under the Martigny court but under the Tribunal du district d’Entremont (Entremont district court). For a tenancy or employment dispute, however, the same cantonal bodies apply: the Commission cantonale de conciliation en matière de bail à loyer and the Tribunal du travail / Arbeitsgericht. A local lawyer knows both courts.

First claim the wages in writing, with a deadline. If there is no response, the claim goes to the Tribunal du travail / Arbeitsgericht (employment tribunal), which covers the whole canton, where the employer is based or where you work. A seasonal contract follows the same basic rules as any employment contract, but collective agreements for hotels and restaurants may apply, so a lawyer should check your rights.
