The Role of Mediation in High-Stakes Wealth Conflicts

Date: 14 Januar 2026

Time: 08:30 – 10:00

Place:
Chambre de Commerce, d’industrie et des services de Genève (CCIG), Bd du Théâtre 4, Geneva

High-profile family wealth disputes, such as those involving the Agnelli, Hinduja, Murdoch, and Safra families, go far beyond law and facts—they are about relationships, culture, emotions, values, and legacies. This panel of mediators, arbitrators, lawyers, and family office experts explores in what sense mediation works and is valuable for resolving such disputes and how mediation and arbitration complement each other: mediation engages broader issues and stakeholders while arbitration provides legal certainty. The discussion will show how combining both approaches can preserve family cohesion, protect reputations, and turn conflicts into constructive solutions.
