How would you react if you discovered that your country is listed as one of the most litigious in the world? When Maria Jose Anitua co-found the ADCE in September 2013 as a public-private collaboration project, Spain was considered the third most litigious country behind Russia and the Czech Republic according to OECD data. The goal was to promote and foster a new concept of collaborative justice, with members including CEOs of Basque companies. This unique and distinctive approach aimed at social pacification focused on business and included not only collaborative professionals.  The ADCE presentation was held at Artium, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Vitoria-Gasteiz, seamlessly blending art and law from the beginning to inspire transformation within the legal system. Although the association was born in the Basque Country, its influence reached professionals from all over Spain and later extended into Latin America. 𝗔𝗗𝗖𝗘'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: • 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The diffusion of Collaborative Law through newsletters, digital platforms, training, and practice groups. • 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀: Eleven different pilot experiences were developed from the beginning as engines of change. The second pilot, following Hiri Space, was with the Tax Administration of Bizkaia (Bilbao), where the General Deputy included the project’s development in their strategy. • 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: Despite efforts to involve other agents, the impact was not as expected. As Ralph Kilmann taught us, culture is the first step to systemic change. Is it time to rethink how we approach justice and conflict resolution? ⚖️✨ Empty Homes Collaborative - EHC, Nathalie Ganier-Raymond, Luis Alba Manuel Valin, Helena Soleto Muñoz, Margarita Uria, Tomas Arrieta , MARIA JOSÉ ANITUA TREVIJANO ____ #collaborativelaw #restorativejustice #innovation #restorativejustice #law #systemicchange #socialimpact #buildingbetterfuture #makeadifference #futureofwork #drivetransformation

CONFERENCE ON THE CULTURAL CORPORATION Today at 2:30 PM I will give a presentation at the University of Verona about the impact of the rules of the Italian Code of Cultural Goods on the activity of corporations operating in the cultural fields in Italy (but not only). In fact, most of these rules tend to be completely overlooked by corporations, but are more and more strictly enforced by the Ministry of Culture, that recently has been even trying to pretend that they apply abroad too (the Ravensburger case being a good example, where the German court judging on the same matter said straightforwardly that the application of Italian law abroad was simply countrary to international principles of law). Attendance is free up to the capacity of the (large) room. #artlaw #codeofculturalgoods #artverona
