Evelyne SIMONIN at VDV AVOCATS.

The art of Evelyne SIMONIN – INKS ON PAPER – quietly reveals the beauty of the nature.

Those paintings invite to explore the silence of the forests, the mazes of the tree leaves, the shadows of the woods, the secrets to be revealed, and the strength of the laws of the nature.

No doubt that Evelyne SIMONIN will expose more often in the territory of VAL D'EUROPE.

3rd edition of the meeting in Paris about arbitration,

The 3rd edition of the meeting in Paris about arbitration, the so-called, in French « Les rencontres de l’arbitrage et du contentieux » have been extremely well organized.

The summary published in Option Finance, edition N°1402 of Monday 20 February 2017 summarizes the various sessions (cf. infra, link).

***

Such meeting gives the opportunity to have an updated view of the development of arbitration in Paris.

Since its incorporation, VDV AVOCATS has also developed arbitration for helping clients with solving (inter)national conflicts.

Conflicts may always arise. Efficient treatment requires adapted solutions. Adapted solutions derive from implementation of structured and well negotiated clauses. Those clauses must be timely negotiated, in details, during the negotiation of the contract. Indeed, this clause is part of the negotiating process itself. Still too often the parties put aside the clause related to the management of conflicts and do not pay sufficient attention to its correct drafting. Sometimes, parties do not even think that this clause is negotiable.

And yet, conflicts exist implicitly in each contract. So, this clause should be negotiated in details.

Some shareholders even sign by-laws with arbitration clauses without being informed of itscharacteristics, and without having studied the other various existing alternatives.

Let’s not forget that what is not negotiated, may not be manageable afterwards. Let’s only sign what is negotiated, agreed upon and understood.

BNI COULOMMIERS - "Coul'Business".

The development of one’s company requires that third parties be correctly informed about your professional activity.

This knowledge is not only ensured passively by the setting-up of a website or the printing of a catalogue. It also requires a personal dynamic, notably the organization of one’s agenda to book some specific and regular dates especially dedicated to the development of one’s business and turnover.

The BNI (Business Network International) is a key.

More specifically, the BNI of COULOMMIERS called « COUL’BUSINESS » founded beginning 2016, meets every Friday morning, from 7:30 to 9:00 am at the restaurant of the Golf of Crécy la Chapelle.

Each week, more than 30 managers speak about business, in a structured, direct, loyal, professional and smart way.

Do not hesitate to join BNI of COULOMMIERS, to contact one of its members, to be invited at one of its meeting, and to join the group or another BNI close to your company’s registered office or domicile.
