Mediator in Paris

Mediation is “a structured process” at the end of which it is the Parties who decide on the content of their agreement, as opposed to legal procedures under which it is the Judge, i.e. a third party, who decides for the Parties. Mediation is a voluntary process. Thus, the mediator was chosen by the parties. The latter wish to be at the origin of the solution to their dispute.


The mediator will listen and make each mediator listen, so that everyone understands the origin of their disputes, in order to allow them to find a solution.

The mediator must ensure that the parties imagine possible solutions to meet the needs, interests, and concerns of each party.

Two types of mediation

Mediation stands out in its field; it can be of a family, social, or corporate nature (inter-company, or intra-company). Mediation can only operate with the help of a third party, the mediator.

Conventional mediation

In general, this occurs either before the conflict or when the conflict arises.

Judicial mediation

It can intervene at any stage of the trial, either at the initiative of the parties or at the initiative of the Judge.

The mediation process and its few rules to respect

For everyone

    All parties to the mediation, as well as the mediator, are bound by total confidentiality.

In other words, nothing can be said outside of the mediation meeting, and no document can be taken out of the mediation meeting, without the agreement of the other mediated party and their lawyer.

    Each mediator and each lawyer must listen to the Other, and respond with respect for the Other.


For the media

The rule of courtesy prevails for all exchanges between mediators, even if they still fundamentally disagree, in order to be able to maintain relationships based on Respect for Others.

They must be in the attitude of respecting Others and listening to them without interrupting them.

For the mediator

The mediator is neutral

The mediator specifies that he will never take sides with one or the other mediated.

The mediator is a support person who has listening and empathy skills

    By its ability to put the parties in confidence, it allows the parties to discover the real reason for the blockage to which they had reached. By its ability to bring each party to recognize the other, it allows communication between the parties to be restored, and it is up to each of them to be in a constructive position vis-à-vis the other. Through his listening and empathy skills, he helps and leads people in conflict to find a solution to their differences on their own.

The outcome of mediation

It is because the parties felt confident and listened to, that they were able to confidently explain the origins of their differences, and find the solution to their dispute together. They leave satisfied:

∙ To have seen the relationship reestablished in good conditions

∙ And to have found a satisfactory solution to the dispute

 

When the parties have found the foundations of their agreement, it is their respective lawyers who will draft the agreement and submit it to them for signature. Mediation allows you to get rid of the origins of the dispute, and to leave “relieved”, satisfied. The agreement reached may remain confidential, if the parties wish. The parties may again, if they wish, request approval, or request that their agreement be given enforceable force.
