OUR SERVICES
The Franco-Indian Mediation Chamber seamlessly integrates the mediation practices from both countries, blending the best of Indian and French ADR methodologies. This cross-cultural approach creates a unique platform that addresses the specific needs of businesses engaged in Franco-Indian ventures.
The dual-cultural framework allows for better recognition of cultural nuances and business practices that often influence the resolution process. By drawing from Prachi's in-depth understanding of Indian customs and Claude's insights into French corporate culture, the collaboration ensures that mediation is not only effective but also culturally appropriate.
The chamber’s approach of co-mediation involves both Prachi and Claude acting as joint mediators, allowing for a balanced, dynamic process. This enables the mediators to process information from both verbal and non-verbal cues, analyze issues from both Indian and French perspectives, and devise solutions that account for the complex intercultural business landscape.
With a bilingual team fluent in both French and English, the mediation process eliminates language barriers, making communication smoother and more efficient. This is particularly beneficial in a context where language misunderstandings could otherwise exacerbate disputes.
As professionals with experience in their respective home countries, Prachi and Claude are able to bridge the gap between Indian and French legal and business practices. The collaboration ensures that both legal systems are respected, and businesses can engage in dispute resolution with a clear understanding of how each jurisdiction’s perspectives are integrated into the process.
By combining their deep expertise in both commercial and cultural mediation, Prachi and Claude ensure that complex disputes, often involving multiple parties or jurisdictions, are handled with a structured, comprehensive approach. Their combined knowledge and leadership in both countries make them uniquely positioned to mediate disputes in high-stakes international business environments.
