Diot-Siaci and Equanim sign an unprecedented agreement promoting the amicable resolution of disputes
Paris, October 12, 2022 – The Diot-Siaci Group, the European leader in corporate insurance consulting and brokerage, and EQUANIM INTERNATIONAL, the
French platform for international mediation, announce the conclusion of an unprecedented agreement to promote the amicable resolution of pre-litigation
and litigation situations through mediation between DIOT-SIACI’s corporate clients, their insurers and the parties involved.
DIOT-SIACI is convinced of the importance of mediation, due to the speed, confidentiality and efficiency of this process, and has made a strong commitment to
alternative dispute resolution by entering into an agreement with Equanim International to promote amicable settlements.
The leader in insurance consulting and brokerage wishes to offer its corporate clients the best solutions for the swift and efficient prevention and management of their prelitigation and litigation situations with an insurance component.

and litigation situations being faced. This new, proactive and constructive approach to mediation offers the possibility of bringing global and negotiated solutions to complex
problems.
To this end, DIOT-SIACI and EQUANIM INTERNATIONAL have decided to combine their expertise in order to:
- study and analyze the specific needs and expectations around mediation that
could be made available to DIOT-SIACI’s clients, and to insurers; - in compliance with any confidentiality obligations to which the Parties may be subject, identify practical cases of situations which may be solved amicably
thanks to the intervention of Equanim International and with the assistance of DIOT-SIACI; - design a mediation offering adapted to DIOT-SIACI’s business, and that of its clients and their insurers;
- ensure better guidance, awareness-raising and communication among players in support of mediation.

litigation situations faced by our Group’s client companies is an effective tool to support our clients.”Matthias Fekl, founding partner of EQUANIM INTERNATIONAL, said: “Equanim International is proud of this agreement. I salute the strong commitment of the French
and European market leader in insurance consulting and brokerage and its management team to a modern, proven and innovative approach to mediation.”
