❓La place du droit en médiation touche à l'essence même de ce processus : la confidentialité entre les parties, conseils et médiateur🤝.

Lorsqu'une partie ou son avocat invoque le droit pour affirmer que celui-ci lui donne raison : est-ce la fin de la médiation ?🛑

En réalité, s’appuyer sur le droit comme autorité va à l’encontre de la médiation 🗣️.

Les parties ne sont pas limitées aux solutions juridiques : elles peuvent imaginer des accords créatifs💡, adaptés à leurs besoins, au-delà des sanctions ou réparations prévues par la loi📜 .

How can you make sure you’re getting your due diligence right?

Maëva Slotine gives us her top insights in a recent interview with .hk – The Close, shedding light on the intricacies of this essential process:

🚩 Red Flags: Identifying potential deal-breakers early is crucial. Common red flags for Chinese companies include mandatory social security contributions and the heightened cost of running the business after an acquisition by a foreign shareholder.

✅ Buyer vs. Vendor Due Diligence: Vendor due diligence allows sellers to anticipate the sale process and take action before starting the process, while buyer due diligence identifies hidden risks that could trigger a renegotiation of the price.

🌍 Cross-Border Co-ordination: Effective project management is essential for smooth cross-border due diligence. Clear roles, standardised checklists and reports, and transparent communication are key to success.

💡 Advice for Business Leaders: As a vendor, put yourself in the shoes of the buyer – make it easy for them to understand your business. As a buyer, don’t delegate the review of the due diligence report – get involved to truly understand what you’re buying.
