[save for the prevailing/existing] legal exceptions

I think Jessica's question may have been prompted by the hope of finding some other term so that "salvo" could be translated as "except for" -- hence my suggestion.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Hi Muriel, yes, in this case I wanted to look for an alternative translation to "salvo". However, I was also wondering whether they were talking of "legal exceptions" or "legal appeals" and wanted to see what types of replies I got. I guess exceptions it is! Thanks for your help."

except as provided by law

I think this would be less awkward.

I probably should have included "othewise", as in "except as provided otherwise by law".
