Mediation

Janson’s mediation practice consists out of three experienced lawyers who are accredited mediators by the Federal Mediation Commission.

 Jean-Nicolas Pardon is a seasoned partner at Janson and enjoys extensive experience in the amicable and judicial resolution of civil and commercial disputes. 

 Carl Dotremont is a successful Corporate M&A partner and mediator at Janson with extensive experience negotiating and mediating post-Closing and commercial disputes.

 Nastassja Loriaux is a certified civil, commercial, family and social law mediator. Her experience covers all types of disputes going from divorce to insurance and construction.

Resolving conflicts or disputes do not oblige for hard court action.  Opting for mediation in order to re-establish the relationship and facilitate an amicable solution can indeed be the right way out.  

The mediator plays a crucial role in this. It indeed concerns  an independent, neutral and impartial third party whose goal is to assist and guide the disputing parties in finding an amicable, equitable and sustainable solution taking into account all of the parties interests and arguments in the most balanced manner. The added value of the mediation not only relates to guidance and assistance by the mediator but also to its voluntary and confidential nature. It also allows the parties to have a sound mind from a legal point of view as the mediator is also the guarantee that the solution will respect the boundaries of law and will comply with the rules of public policy.  Mediation has an elevated success rate as 70% of matters that are submitted to mediation are successful. 

In order to become an accredited, the mediator must successfully pass an intense and rigorous governed by law training program that does not only focus on hard skills but also on the most diverse soft skills that are crucial to become a successful mediator. The mediator must also follow continuous training in order to maintain the accreditation and must comply with a strict Ethical Code.
