Qu'est que la mediation?

Angela Albert, Avocate à la Cour de Paris
La volonté contemporaine de résoudre rapidement et effi cacement tout litige se traduit par un engouement

Paris Organizing Team

The organising team of the Paris Congress proudly granted to Lawyers Without Borders France 100% of the money collected from the participants to the raffle which was organized during the Congress with the support of RAIL EUROPE. This operation demonstrates, if need be, how the AIJA members can be generous to support the promotion of human rights. During the Gala Dinner, participants rushed to buy the last tickets available!

linked to the kind of client, buyer, seller, commercial party, private client. More click here…


First AIJA Congress

As the Thalys (the high-speed train which takes you from Rotterdam to Paris in just about the same
time it takes for you to check-in and board a flight at any of the larger airports) approached the city of
light, we were discussing the upcoming week. We were not quite sure what to expect, although we
had both been to AIJA events before (most notably the M&A seminar in Munich in 2007), and therefore
suspected that some serious late-night drinking would be involved. As it turned out, we were
right on that one... More click here…
