🇨🇭 Business mediation in Switzerland

Clarifying economic conflicts - with Structure, foresight and attitude

In the Swiss economy, diversity and variety meet precision and Responsibility. It is precisely in this area of tension that friction arises - between aspiration and reality, speed and thoroughness, new generations and established structures. Business mediation offers a structured, confidential framework for clarifying such tensions, facilitating understanding and reorganising cooperation.

Typical fields of application in Switzerland

Conflicts between the Board of Directors and the Executive Board
Disputes in family businesses and holding companies
Management issues in complex matrix structures
Succession planning, exit scenarios, strategic differences
Investor conflicts and investment management
Project mediation in technology, pharma, Compliance
Cross-border conflicts between D-CH partners

Special challenges in the Swiss context

Switzerland is characterised by cultural diversity, federal structures and a high demand for consensus and reliability. Business mediation adapts to these particularities: with sensitivity, systemic thinking and methodological clarity. The focus is not on power or law - but on relationships, the ability to act and sustainability.

Why mediation instead of law?

Confidential processing of sensitive topics
Faster clarification than lengthy court proceedings
Customised, future-proof solutions
Lower costs and less reputational risk
Strengthening the personal responsibility of all those involved

Team mediation in Switzerland - building bridges in the company

Different working and communication cultures often come together in heterogeneous teams. This can lead to misunderstandings, stagnation or even internal power struggles. Mediation creates a space in which mutual understanding is possible. It makes it possible to grasp the depth of a conflict without getting lost in recriminations.

Topics can be:

Unclear roles and decision-making processes
Different expectations
Generational conflicts, differences in mentality
Friction between specialist and line management

The aim is not just to reach an agreement, but to restore the ability to work - with long-term effects.

Structured process - with Swiss precision

Orientation meeting (virtual or on-site)
Procedural agreement & structural clarification
Identifying topics and perspectives
Clarification of interests & option development
Negotiation and agreement
Support during implementation (optional)
