At Chōtei, we view negotiation and mediation not as battles to be won, but as complex problems to be solved. Our approach is rooted in the principles of interest-based negotiation, blending rigorous analytical preparation with a deep understanding of human psychology and communication dynamics.
Our founder is a certified mediator and negotiation specialist with over 15 years of experience guiding organisations through high-stakes situations. His versatility is a hallmark of the Chōtei approach. Having held leadership roles across both the private and not-for-profit sectors, he understands the unique pressures of different organisational cultures.
With extensive training from world-renowned institutions and hands-on experience across diverse sectors, we provide a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical wisdom. This alows us to navigate the most complex multi-party disputes and achieve harmony through structured, respectful dialogue.
