Mediation – Collaborative Law
Mediation: an alternative to litigation
Mediation is a structured and confidential process in which an independent and impartial third party—the mediator—helps the parties restore dialogue and develop their own tailored solution to a dispute, without resorting to court proceedings.
In an increasingly litigious environment, resolving disputes is no longer limited to courtroom battles, which are often lengthy and costly. Conflicts frequently arise from misunderstandings or unspoken concerns that undermine trust. Our firm assists companies and corporate groups in using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, particularly mediation, to restore dialogue and safeguard their interests.
Having trained in mediation at the Paris Mediation and Arbitration Centre (ESCP/CMAP), Sophie Petroussenko brings her strategic and legal expertise to the amicable resolution of your disputes. She acts as a mediator in major commercial disputes involving companies and corporate groups across a wide range of sectors, including food, cafés, hotels and restaurants, airlines, oil and gas.
Companies jointly appoint her as their mediator to help them settle their disputes confidentially, outside the courts and away from the publicity associated with court decisions.
Mediation is therefore a strictly confidential process that helps protect trade secrets.
