Victoire de Tonquédec is a “mediation lawyer” certified with the Conseil National des Barreaux (National Council of Bars) and Centre National des Règlements de Litiges (National Dispute Resolution Center) of the Paris Bar.
The firm assists its clients in judicial and extrajudicial mediation proceedings.
Mediation is an amicable and confidential method of dispute resolution in which an independent, neutral, impartial, and trained third party helps the parties find a negotiated solution that is satisfactory to each of them.
Mediation is based on negotiation, compromise and, above all, each party’s understanding of the other’s position. Mediation aims to preserve the future and the quality of a relationship, which is essential for parties wishing to continue to collaborate within the context of a business relationship.
Mediation deals with all aspects of the dispute and is not limited to legal positions and arguments. The negotiated solution is chosen by the parties rather than being imposed upon them.
The agreement reached by the parties and drafted by their lawyers can then be approved by a court if the parties should wish to do so.
Their support allows you to:
Before beginning the process, the lawyer will assist you in clarifying your expectations, understanding your rights and obligations, and defining your priorities.
A lawyer ensures that the final agreement respects your rights and protects your interests. Their role is to alert you to any potential risks or to the consequences of a compromise, in order to guarantee a balanced and equitable solution.
Although mediation focuses on communication between the parties, your lawyer can represent you during sessions, thereby advising you and ensuring that your positions are expressed clearly.
Once the parties have reached an agreement, the lawyer drafts or validates the protocol to ensure its legal validity. In the event of non-compliance with the terms, the lawyer may also intervene to ensure the enforcement of the agreement.
Lawyers play a key role in mediation, not only to defend your interests, but also to guide you through the entire process.
Thanks to their expertise, our lawyers help you understand the issues at stake and find an amicable solution that meets your expectations.
We are also there to provide you with legal certainty and ensure that the final agreement complies with the law.
Unlike legal proceedings, mediation allows disputes to be resolved more quickly and often at a lower cost.
Mediation allows creative solutions to be found that are tailored to your situation and the needs of both parties.
By promoting dialogue, mediation often helps to preserve personal or professional relationships that are frequently damaged in litigation proceedings.
Discussions during mediation are confidential, allowing for open and calm exchanges without fear of immediate legal consequences.
Choosing mediation with the assistance of a lawyer means choosing an effective, respectful, and lasting solution to resolve your disputes without going to court.
