Lucien Chessex obtained a doctorate in law and later worked as a lawyer. On the death of his father in 1917, he took over some of the positions the former had previously held. Lucien Chessex married Adèle Cuénod in 1920 and they had four children together, including the tennis player Marc Chessex (b. 1923).
