Resolve a dispute with a distributor through mediation

You are in a pre-litigation situation with one of your distributors. The direct exchanges or those conducted by lawyers did not make it possible to find a transactional solution.

Nevertheless, you are open, as is your distributor, to continue to seek in good faith a transactional solution.

The intervention of a third party mediator can make it possible to make everyone take the step that is missing at the end of the negotiation.

Settlement of disputes between the head of the distribution network and its distributors through mediation

One of the team’s lawyers was trained in the mediation by IFOMENE and all our associates have participated in numerous mediations, whether organized by the state (Mediation inter-company DRIEETS for example), by a court (the Commercial Court of Paris has frequent recourse at the beginning of the proceedings) or a professional body (the French Federation of Franchise offers institutional mediation where the Mediator very well acquainted with franchise networks and their issues).

This helps us, once we know the dispute and have appreciated with you what would be the reasonable outcome of the mediation (preparation of the session or mediation sessions), to assist you effectively during the session (s) so that the mediator plays its full part and manages to bring the parties to the transaction.

Finally, we draft the transaction which notes the concessions of each party and amicably closes the dispute definitively.

Mediation allows discreet and effective resolution of disputes in distribution networks

The outcome of the dispute is faster. It is chosen and therefore controlled. The handling and resolution of the dispute is confidential.

Once we know the dispute and have appreciated with you what the reasonable result of the mediation would be, we effectively assist you during the sessions so that the mediator plays his full role and manages to bring the parties to the transaction.
