Corina Böelsterli
Mediator
Short Introduction
What I value most about mediation is creating the conditions for difficult conversations to become constructive again. I am motivated by helping parties move beyond positions, rebuild trust where possible and find solutions they can own. After many years in international legal practice, I am particularly proud of supporting people and organisations through conflict with clarity, calm judgement and respect, especially when commercial relationships, reputations and future cooperation matter as much as the immediate dispute.
Testimonials
"She manages the process calmly, empathetically and constructively while keeping negotiations focused on the commercial realities and helping parties reach a settlement within hours, even after lengthy and nerve-wracking negotiations"
“Corina is a great observer and cuts straight to the heart of any dispute”
About Work
My mediation work is shaped by an international legal background, broad cross-cultural experience and a strong focus on commercial, succession and workplace disputes. I bring careful preparation, analytical clarity and an ability to identify underlying interests quickly, while maintaining a calm and constructive process. My style is facilitative, pragmatic and respectful, with particular attention to creating trust, managing complexity and helping parties work towards realistic and durable outcomes.
