Welcome to Geneva Mediation
I. Jean A. Mirimanoff offers his services as a
mediator
or co-mediator , in French and English, and in three areas where he
acquired a
long experience and a solid theoretical knowledge. These are in
commercial
(international and domestic), real estate and inheritance disputes. He
intervenes both before the start of legal proceedings (conventional
mediation)
and during the trial itself (judiciary mediation).
C
II. Generally,
mediation is recommended whenever the parties have had or are still
having a lasting
factual or legal relationship.
The
commercial area of mediation allows people and companies in business a
joint relationship
to find solutions based on their business environment, economic,
financial,
social, technical, legal and personnel. Every business aims to reduce
costs.
Those of civil procedure and arbitration are often disproportionate and
do not
account for indirect costs caused by the disruption of the links: you have to reinvest to find a new
agent, a new supplier, a new product or a new service, another patent
or other
mark, new premises or land, etc.
Mediation in inheritance disputes can have two aspects. The preventive form happens during the lifetime of the de cuius that allows a facilitated negotiation between him and his heirs, preparing and anticipating writing a will or inheritance agreement designed in concert, thus sustainable. Mediation as conflict resolution after the opening of the will allows the heirs to relive their history, remove misunderstandings, and find solutions that are fair and appropriate for everyone.
The field of neighborhood conflicts largely overlaps with that of the real estate. Conflicts between owners of adjoining villas on the easement or hedge trimming between residents of a condo per floor on the proper use of common, among members of a cooperative housing corporation, with an inheritance of property, or real estate investment companies on whether to proceed or not to work, etcIII. Conflict problems and methods of prevention, solving and/or reducing their effects are the main themes of the vast career of Jean A. Mirimanoff.
During his
legal bar training, he was sent after the "Six Day War" to the Middle
East as a delegate of the ICRC in the occupied territories. Having
passed his bar
exam, he joined the organization as a Legal Adviser for five years. He
participated in the preparation of the two draft Additional Protocols
to the
Geneva Conventions on the protection of victims of armed conflicts. He
presented
the texts related to the protection of the civilian population in the
Diplomatic Conference on International Humanitarian Law (CDDH). The
principles
of the Red Cross (humanity, impartiality, independence, neutrality and
voluntary), the lack of power and the confidentiality of its
proceedings awakened
his attention on the role of third in dealing with conflicts.
During
his three years in the federal administration in Berne,

Called to
