Our business:

Creating now a better reality for all

Founded in Paris by a seasoned investment banker with more than 20 years of experience, overseeing cumulated transactions in excess of $20bn, Balanscale is a global dispute resolution specialist.

We use technology to analyze a legal case, and help stakeholders get a quick assessment of their chances of success. We develop our proprietary technology for our clients, but we also make it available to lawyers, judges and individuals.

We negotiate between conflicting parties using a wide array of techniques, and with the ability to invest in a legal procedure if necessary. But we know well how long and costly a legal procedure can be, in any kind of jurisdiction: imagine a world where justice was served in less than six months, there would be a lot less litigation.

Fundamentally, we are here to help you save Time.

Above all, whether as a negotiator or a mediator, we always keep the big picture in mind: the bottom line is not for one party to win over the other, but to help create for all parties a better and sustainable reality.

After the dispute is resolved, leaders could benefit from taking time to reflect on how conflict emerged. Some disputes are opportunities to learn ways to improve. Because we are convinced that a world without litigation is possible, if we all take the necessary time to invest in our inner balance.

At Balanscale, we have methods and developed inner technologies to help you in this endeavor.
