Mediation in Vienna 
for Commercial and Personal Disputes

Resolving conflicts - with clarity, structure, and empathy.

My approach to mediation is shaped by my legal background and by the belief that conflicts are rarely driven by legal questions alone. Commercial interests, personal relationships, competing expectations, and differing ideas of what is fair often play an equally important role.

Mediation makes it possible to address these dimensions together. Rather than focusing on a single issue, it provides a framework in which the broader context of a conflict can be explored and practical solutions developed — solutions that might otherwise remain out of reach.

Whether in a commercial, workplace, or personal setting, in domestic or cross-border matters, I support parties in navigating difficult conversations, identify what matters most, and develop agreements that are both practical and sustainable.

Services

Commercial Mediation

Business disputes cost time, money, and trust. Mediation offers a strategic alternative at the intersection of legal considerations, commercial realities, and personal interests when conflicts begin to obstruct decision-making and strain business relationships.

Mediation in Personal Matters

In personal and family disputes, relationships often continue long after the conflict itself. When litigation risks adding further pressure to an already difficult situation, mediation may provide a framework for solutions that take personal, economic, and family considerations into account.

Workplace Mediation

Workplace conflicts tie up resources, reduce productivity, and undermine collaboration. Mediation removes the conflict from day-to-day operations and creates a confidential setting for conversations that can no longer take place constructively within existing organisational structures.

Negotiation & Settlement Facilitation

In complex negotiations, impasses are rarely caused by the substance alone. More often, progress is hindered by process challenges, communication barriers, or competing interests. Structured facilitation helps organise the negotiation process, encourages constructive dialogue, and supports the development of workable outcomes.
