People – Munich Mediation Training

We are the minds behind the training concept.

For decades, we have been an important voice in research and teaching on negotiation and mediation. At the same time, we possess extensive experience gained through many years of our own work as arbitrators and mediators in national and international commercial disputes. We look forward to getting to know you personally as part of one of our mediation training programs and to working with you.
