Online dispute resolution platform combining technology

Headquarters
Paris, France

Overview

Online dispute resolution platform combining technology, automation of legal processes and litigation funding. Co-founded by Frederic Pelouze, a graduate of HEC and Columbia University and a former lawyer aged 32 at launch, and Damien Couture, both from Pau, WeClaim specialized in compensating air passengers affected by flight delays or cancellations, before expanding into employment law, real estate and transport. The solution encodes law and case law to automate the handling of legal cases, while a lawyer represents the client in court. The business model is success-based: no upfront costs for the client, with the platform charging a 25% commission only if the case is won. WeClaim was incubated at Agoranov in Paris, one of the leading incubators for tech startups. Note: the company is currently in court-ordered liquidation and the website is no longer accessible. The no win no fee approach made proceedings accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. The pioneering concept of encoding law allowed cases to be handled at scale. Co-founder Damien Couture brought his technical expertise to develop the law and case law encoding algorithms that formed the technological core of the platform.

Justice & Mediation

Platform or association dedicated to mediation and the amicable resolution of disputes in France

Platform or association dedicated to mediation and the amicable resolution of disputes in France. Justice & Mediation operates within the framework of France's 2019 justice reform, which made attempting an amicable settlement mandatory for disputes below 5,000 euros. The service offers an alternative to traditional court proceedings by connecting parties in conflict with neutral and impartial mediators trained in conflict-resolution techniques. Mediation, a voluntary and confidential process, allows the parties to reach a negotiated agreement with the help of a professional third party, without going to court. This resolution method applies to common civil disputes: neighbour disputes, tenancy disagreements, and commercial and family conflicts. The creation of the National Mediation Council in 2023, bringing together mediators, mediation associations, courts and public authorities, reflects the growing structuring of the sector in France. In 2024, the French Ministry of Justice made amicable justice one of the flagship measures of its action plan, rolling out platforms connecting people with conciliators and mediators within the jurisdictions of the Colmar and Versailles courts of appeal. The National Mediation Council's progress report, published in 2024, gathers the first opinions, recommendations and proposals to harmonise mediation practices on a national scale. Platforms connecting people with conciliators and mediators have been deployed within the jurisdictions of the Colmar and Versailles courts of appeal.
