There are three ways of settling a dispute in France:
- litigation or court proceedings;
- arbitration;
- mediation.
While litigation implies a trial with one of the French courts, the other two methods are used for amicably resolving disputes. Litigation, however, remains one of the most employed methods of resolving all types of disputes. Our litigation attorneys in France offer assistance in settling disputes in the court of law.
When it comes to arbitration, this method is usually used for resolving commercial disputes, because the procedure is less costly and lengthy. It also allows a higher degree of flexibility to the parties involved in the dispute. However, it is advisable to ask for legal advice before starting the arbitration process.
Mediation is another way of resolving litigation in France and it is mainly used in civil cases, such as divorce and child custody matters. Compared to arbitration where the case is handled by one or more arbitrators who collect evidence and offer a solution for the parties to reach an agreement, mediation is less formal and allow the parties a better communication through minimal intervention.
Foreigners interested in buying a property in France can call on the specialized services offered by our local French lawyers. They can take care of the formalities, from a legal point of view, as well as the documents necessary for such a transaction. It is good to know that a sale-purchase contract is signed in front of the notary, but not before our lawyer checks it from a legal point of view. On the other hand, you can ask for real estate due diligence to make sure you are making a correct purchase.
Assistance in debt collection offered by our lawyers in France
The debt recovery process in France can be very complicated unless handled by a specialized agency or a law firm. Our French lawyers can help local and foreign clients in recovering outstanding amounts of money from those unable to pay their debts. We will first try to recover a debt through the amicable procedure, by contacting the debtor and proposing him/her to pay the money in installments. Unless this procedure does not render the desired outcome, we can continue chasing the debt in one of the French courts of law. Do not hesitate to talk to us about any issue related to the recovery of debts.
