Mediation & Conflicts

Differences of opinion, divergent interests, conflicts – are part of life and part of the professional experience. When the parties in a conflict fail to find resolution, they can endanger the viability of entire organizations.

Negotiations (about contractual terms, succession plans, or many other causes) can reach deadlock. Each remaining option seems worse than the other: Litigation only adds to the uncertainty and will certainly hurt the relationships in play. And walking away from the table promises nothing but a lose-lose outcome.

Mediation can be the way to find back to a positive and mutually acceptable solution. Our mediators take away the burden of negotiation and provide you with a structured process to return to a shared consensus that gives equal due to the needs and legitimate interests of all parties. With our assistance, you can concentrate on what really matters – the issues at stake.

Constructive mediation support during conflict needs the right instinct to create sustainable relationships and the confidence to master the necessary interactions. We are focused on commercial mediation and can support you with our expertise in the following areas.
