Deal Mediation: Concluding complex negotiations without conflict
Wuppertal/Zug/Zurich, February 16, 2026 - Izolda Petrosyan and Dr. Hartmut Frenzel offer Deal Mediation, a neutral process for complex business negotiations. The goal: viable agreements for M&A, joint ventures, large-scale construction and IT projects - quickly, securely, and with governance capabilities. Deal Mediation is not about dispute resolution, but rather the professional moderation of highly complex negotiations involving multiple stakeholders and information asymmetries. The mediators ensure a balance of power, clarify legal issues, and document the proceedings in a manner suitable for the board.The process comprises five steps: defining the assignment and rules, preparation (topics, data room, timing), moderation (priorities, decisions, minutes), de-escalation (interests, options, packages), and securing results (terms, next steps, responsibility).
The difference to classic business mediation: Deal mediation starts before the conflict. It is about new contracts, not disruptions. The atmosphere is future-oriented rather than burdened, the goal is conclusion and durability rather than dispute resolution. The advantages: fewer negotiation loops, faster decisions, visible interests, reduced bias and cultural barriers, clear governance, and higher deal certainty.
Izolda Petrosyan (Dipl. Business Administration) and Dr. Hartmut Frenzel are executive mediators focusing on M&A, succession, cooperations, and cross-border transactions. They develop bridging options and integration paths, particularly for points of friction such as purchase price, guarantees, conditions, earn-outs, or transition service agreements.
