About me
I am Léa Gagossian, I work both as a mediator and a lawyer.
I have a taste for challenges, I am a half-marathoner and I practice alpine skiing, aerial yoga and surfing. I love cooking as it is a opportunity for sharing moments with others.
I firstly chose to become a lawyer because I truly desired to solve entrenched and disempowering situations. My professional training and my clients have led me to specialize in Business Law and then in Real Estate Law.
This experience as a lawyer has helped me forge the following observation: our judicial system has seriously showed its limits. If French justice promises its citizens a legal solution and by extension a "just" one, it cannot control - or no longer - the price to pay to come to it. And when I say the price to pay, it encompasses more than money.
Courts are overloaded, judges don't want or can no longer hear lawyers make their case, cases are sometimes browsed through too quickly and delays are inconceivable. This observation ended up generating a certain frustration in me becaue I was unable to satisfy my clients at 100%, who were annoyed by the slowness of procedures and felt they had not been fully understood by the judges even when we had won the case.
So, I turned towards mediation training. Where justice promises a winner and a loser, mediation promises an agreement: a satisfactory solution for everyone in record time.
