Transform conflict into cooperation with impartial guidance that keeps discussions respectful, focuses on shared interests, and delivers flexible agreements.

I work with organizations spanning different cultures and jurisdictions

Meet Mediator, Svetlana Kirienko

I am an International Mediation Institute–certified mediator with many years of corporate and legal experience. After a decade spent drafting contracts, steering mergers, and resolving boardroom disputes from the inside, I understand both the technical and the human sides of conflict.

Whether you are facing a cross-border business impasse or a sensitive family breakdown, I provide impartial, empathetic guidance and the mediation expertise needed to turn complex situations into clear, workable agreements.

My approach is calm, structured, and client-centred. I start by listening to each party’s concerns, then design a confidential process that balances voices, uncovers underlying interests, and encourages creative options beyond a simple win-lose outcome. Throughout every session I remain neutral yet proactive, using clear language, reality-testing questions to keep negotiations focused and respectful. The result is a tailored pathway that empowers people to make informed decisions and leave the room with durable, enforceable solutions they believe in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is mediation?

A confidential, structured negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party who helps the participants craft their own legally binding settlement—without imposing a decision.

How is mediation different from arbitration or court?

In mediation, you control the outcome; the mediator only guides the process. Arbitration and court deliver binding rulings decided by arbitrators or judges, often publicly.

Is a mediated agreement enforceable?

Yes. Once signed, it can be recorded as a contract, notarised, or turned into a court order—giving it the same legal force as a judgment.

Do I need a lawyer present?

Legal counsel isn’t mandatory, but many parties choose to consult lawyers for advice or to review the draft settlement before signing.

Can we mediate online?

Absolutely. Secure video-conferencing lets participants join from different locations, reduces travel costs, and maintains the same confidentiality standards as in-person sessions.
