Services across mediation and dispute resolution, governance and family advisory, and training and speaking — and how to begin working together.
I work with organisations, leaders and institutions seeking strategic guidance on mediation, governance and conflict resolution. Every collaboration begins with a conversation; the headings below show where that conversation might start.
Mediation and dispute resolution
I mediate corporate, commercial, consumer and workplace disputes across a wide field, from M&A negotiations to impact investment. In complex and multi-party matters, process design, negotiation strategy and the architecture of settlement sit at the centre of the work.
- Complex mediations and multi-party negotiations
- Cross-border commercial disputes and cross-cultural negotiation
- Designing dispute avoidance mechanisms
- Reviewing the enforceability of settlement agreements
Governance, family and venture advisory
Since 2007 I have designed governance structures, family constitutions and conflict resolution frameworks for businesses at every stage. The aim is not to intervene once a dispute has formed but to build systems that align values, protect relationships and sustain institutional integrity across generations.
- Governance frameworks and stakeholder trust
- Family constitutions and generational transition planning
- Ombudsman and internal conflict resolution system design
- Start-up ecosystems and early-stage risk assessment
Training, speaking and social impact
I teach mediation at Istanbul Bilgi University and design certification programmes, workshops and in-house training for professionals. I deliver keynote presentations at global conferences and serve as judge and mentor in international competitions.
- Keynote presentations at global conferences
- Mediation and negotiation workshops
- Certification programmes for professionals
- University and academic collaboration
