As you can see, there is a clear focus on IT law, arbitration and digital signatures. The participants will ensure that the services offered by Negonation enjoy the maximum guarantees. They are all really into, and dare to dream of, a better form of justice that is faster and more efficient. You can see diverse profiles, even opposing philosophies. It’s deliberate. From diversity interesting conversations and original solutions are born, valid for everyone. All the law firms mentioned will use a pilot of Tractis.

Negonation is commited to create secure and trustworthy electronic commerce, above the legislative islands. We’re aware that the words “secure” and “trustworthy” are difficult to define, more a subjective sensation than a concrete objective. The solution does not rely on using a standard, technology, hardware process or concrete legislation. It is a combination of many things, with no magic formula. A user will feel secure using Tractis or not. They will trust the service or not. We believe that the formation and support of this forum is a step in the right direction.
