Lawyer in Sion

For Sion and the other municipalities in the district, first-instance civil, family and criminal cases go to the Tribunal du district de Sion (Sion district court). Employment disputes go to the Tribunal du travail / Arbeitsgericht (employment tribunal), which sits in Sion for French-speaking Valais, and tenancy disputes start before the Commission cantonale de conciliation en matière de bail à loyer. Your lawyer explains the procedure and represents you.

Not necessarily. Savièse is in the Sion district and so comes under the Tribunal du district de Sion. Conthey, like the municipalities of the Val d’Hérens, comes under the Tribunal des districts d’Hérens et Conthey (Hérens and Conthey district court), even though that court also sits in Sion. For tenancy and employment the question does not arise: the conciliation board and the employment tribunal are cantonal.

With the Commission cantonale de conciliation en matière de bail à loyer (cantonal tenancy conciliation board), which covers flats and premises throughout Valais. The board hears tenant and landlord and tries to reach an agreement; if conciliation fails, it issues an authorisation to proceed. Rent increase, defects or notice to quit: a landlord and tenant lawyer helps you draft the application and meet time limits that are often short.

Criminal investigations are led by the Ministère public / Staatsanwaltschaft (public prosecutor) of the canton of Valais, whose central office is in Sion. If you receive a summons or a penalty order, see a lawyer quickly: they review the file, explain your rights and prepare the interview with you. The time limit to object to a penalty order is very short.
