Free lawyers on the Plainpalais

Wednesday, 7 May 2025 06:30

Free legal advice will be available in Geneva tomorrow and the day after.

Under a large tent on the Plainpalais, 80 Geneva lawyers will answer your legal questions and give advice.

Topics would range from problems at work, tenancy issues or how to launch a business.

It’s the tenth time the Geneva Bar Association has offered the service. The tent will be open tomorrow and Friday from 9am to 7pm.

The Bar Association also points out it has a low cost service all year round at its offices on the rue Verdaine.
