Judicial mediation takes place in the context of legal proceedings. It is ordered by a judge and aims to promote an amicable settlement of the dispute, avoiding a long and costly trial. The court-appointed mediator assists the parties in finding a satisfactory solution, while respecting public policy, professional ethics, and the rules and deadlines set by the court. Whether your dispute concerns labor law, commercial law, family law or administrative law, our mediators will work with you, in complete neutrality, to help you reach a consensual resolution of your dispute.
Conventional mediation is a mediation process that takes place outside any legal framework, and relies solely on the initiative and willingness of the parties. It generally takes place prior to any legal proceedings, with a view to avoiding them. It is the parties who take the initiative by contacting a mediator and asking him or her to obtain the other party's agreement to enter mediation. A mediation agreement is then drawn up, and any agreement reached can be approved by the judge if the parties so decide. This approved agreement is res judicata, just as a court judgment would be. Conventional mediation offers the same guarantees and advantages as any other form of mediation: confidentiality of exchanges, security of the agreement, and flexibility in the construction of the solution.
Corporate mediation is an approach to conflict resolution specifically adapted to the corporate context. It intervenes when disputes arise, within or outside a contractual framework, for any type of relationship the company may have. The dispute may concern customers, suppliers, subcontractors, partners or employees (with management or among themselves). In-company mediation helps preserve professional and commercial relations, as well as the total confidentiality of disputes, limiting economic risks and fostering a constructive working climate.
Project mediation is a form of mediation used in complex, multi-stakeholder projects. Its aim is to facilitate communication and decision-making between the various players involved in a project, so as to harness the diversity of skills and players for the benefit of efficient, optimized and productive collaboration. Project mediation also helps to resolve divergent interests, manage conflicts and ensure the smooth running of the project.
Commercial mediation is an approach to conflict resolution specifically adapted to commercial relations and economic disputes. It enables commercial parties in conflict, whether companies or corporations, to find a mutually satisfactory solution while preserving their commercial interests and the confidentiality of their agreements and commercial terms.
Administrative mediation helps resolve disputes between citizens and the administration, between employees and their administration, and between administrative entities, by encouraging dialogue and the search for concrete solutions. Administrative mediation offers a faster alternative to litigation, with a strong emphasis on oral communication. The administrative judge is very committed to this amicable approach, and appoints a mediator to resolve disputes in which at least one of the parties is a member of the administration. In the event of a dispute with an administrative authority or public body, our mediators can help you reach a rapid and confidential settlement. Mediation enables you to reach a rapid and lasting agreement.
