Ravi d'avoir animé des échanges passionnants sur l'exécution des sentences arbitrales avec un panel de haute volée hier soir chez Clifford Chance Paris. Avec Karolina Rozycka, Amany Chamieh, François Bordes et le Professeur Maximin de Fontmichel, nous avons pu explorer les voies à disposition des plaideurs désireux d’éviter la mue de leur sentence en tigre de papier.

Technology is simultaneously a challenge, a source of opportunities, and a potential threat for our clients, their counsel, and those dedicated to resolving disputes. AI, cryptography, and predictive justice were at the center of the UIA Union Internationale des Avocats seminar in Novi Sad on September 19 and 20, titled “Bridging the Gap between Law and Technology: the Role of Lawyers in AI, Digitalization, and Data Protection.” Our partners Marina Matousekova and Martin Pradel contributed to the fascinating debate, which brought together lawyers from around the world, including from Algeria, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Russia, the US, and of course, Serbia. Thank you to the Vojvodina Bar Association and the Serbian Bar Association for the incredible time spent together! UIA truly brings together lawyers from around the world! See you soon, for the Paris Congress ! #InternationalArbitration #CriminalLaw #WhiteCollar #UIAforLawyers #UIAParis

Busy week on the human rights front for our team!   On Tuesday, our client Noémie Kohler, whose sister Cécile has been held in an Iranian jail since May 2022 met with French members of Parliament who expressed their support to Cécile and to her family who are fighting to obtain her release. Noémie was accompanied by Emma Villard and Alix Eichenlaub, who are part of the team (headed by Martin Pradel) representing Cécile Kohler, Jacques Paris and Louis Arnaud, also held in Iran, and their families.   On Wednesday, after 19 months of trial, our partner Martin Pradel delivered his closing statement before the criminal Tribunal of Conakry (Guinea), on behalf of numerous victims of the 28 September 2009 massacre and on behalf of the FIDH -Fédération internationale pour les droits humains, and its Guinean organization, the OGDH. Fourteen years after the facts, eleven persons are now standing trial in Conakry, including former Guinean President Moussa Dadis Camara, among other high-ranking officials. Martin’s closing argument can be rewatched online (link in comment). TALMA Dispute Resolution is committed to the defense of human rights in France and abroad and we are proud to stand next to victims of human rights violations and help them in obtaining redress.
