INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION

INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION

Attorney Jean-Marc Goossens is a renowned international mediator using his extensive cross-cultural experience (Europe / USA / Asia). Cultural miscommunication can compound and exacerbate the disagreements faced in an international commercial context.

Having traveled, worked and lived in various cultures around the world, Mr Goossens is able to successfully and sensitively guide discussions between parties with different cultural backgrounds. His goal is to facilitate the structuring of a resolution so that it will be understood within the framework of the cultures of the parties.
As an international lawyer with years of experience, he can understand the legal issues involved in these types of negotiations. Attorney Goossens helps the parties think “outside of the box” for possible solutions, broadening the range of possible solutions.

Mediation is a negotiation facilitated by a trusted neutral person.The role of the mediator is to help those involved sort out their issues and arrive at a consensus. That might involve finalizing an agreement, resolving a dispute, developing effective communications, building or improving relationships. It is a confidential process where what was discussed or agreed in private is not disclosed to others without everyone’s agreement.

The benefits of mediation include:

While a mediator may charge a fee comparable to that of an attorney, the mediation process generally takes much less time than moving a case through standard legal channels. Taking less time means expending less money on hourly fees and costs.

While court hearings are public, mediation remains strictly confidential. No one but the parties to the dispute and the mediator or mediators know what happened.

Mediation increases the control the parties have over the resolution. In a court case, the parties obtain a resolution, but control resides with the judge or jury. Mediation is more likely to produce a result that is mutually agreeable for the parties.

Because the result is attained by the parties working together and is mutually agreeable, compliance with the mediated agreement is usually high. This further reduces costs, because the parties do not have to employ an attorney to force compliance with the agreement. The mediated agreement is, however, fully enforceable in a court of law.

INDEPENDENCE

Totally independent and being bound to no financial institution, the advice of Mr Goossens is the result of an analysis of all economic, financial, political and legal factors and takes into account all products on all markets worldwide.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Being a member of the Bar of Brussels, Mr Goossens is bound by professional secrecy, which is not the case with traditional financial advisors. Therefore all information shared will be handled as strictly confidential.

The client is free to follow or to turn down the advice and remains in control of his own assets at all times. Mr Goossens will never execute any financial transaction on behalf of his clients. The advice given and the compiled profile of every client are kept secret and the client can have it updated at any given time.

The crisis clearly showed the need for a new type of legal and financial advisor disposing of much wider skills.

We have to learn from the crisis:

It could be the end of the capitalism, as we know it based on fast profits, on investments realized using borrowed money and on the excessive growth of credits. The entire system should be put back in service of the real economy. Financial institutions ignored or hid their difficulties and continued to sell their doubtful products without respecting their commitments.
A great deal of people lost confidence in the system. They don’t know what to invest in anymore and who to turn to for proper advice. We live in exceptional times as an immense amount of means are being employed locally, nationally and supranationally to clean up and to boost the financial and economic world.

Therefore today a professional financial advisor should dispose of the following skills :

  • Traditional financial, fiscal and economic skillfulness;
  • Total independence, especially with respect to financial institutions;

  • Political skillfulness and lobbying capacities at an international level;
  • Profound knowledge of legislation.

Thanks to all the expertise gained throughout his outstanding career, Mr Jean-Marc Goossens combines these diverse qualifications.

Being a member of the Bar of Brussels, Mr Goossens is bound by strict rules with respect to legal expenses and the payment of his fees.

The height of the fee is determined by several factors such as the proficiency and experience of Mr Goossens, the amount of money involved, the financial situation of the client and the exclusivity of the information given to the client.

If you send the filled out form to Mr. Goossens by e-mail, you will receive a request for payment. As Mr Goossens is bound by strict rules, the client is guaranteed to receive the best possible services for the fee charged.
