SERVICE
Find The Right Fit.
The success of any intervention depends upon choosing a suitable and appropriate method in order to both address the situation at hand, and meet the needs of the personality involved. Find the path towards clarity by thoroughly choosing what process serves your interest best.
Counselling
The setting of counselling is the optimal method for individuals who want to work on specific and personal matter.
The counsellor listens, reflects, and offers an assessment of the situation and a strategy to move forward.
Moderation
A moderation serves as an ideal form of addressing conflict or controversy within groups in a rather informal manner.
The moderator guides the parties through delicate conversation and delivers a neutral perspective.
Mediation
In mediation, the parties are guided through the conflict and enabled to autonomously find individual solutions.
The mediator does not articulate any solution proposals, this capacity remains at the sole discretion of the parties.
Conciliation
In conciliation, the relevant parties are guided through the conflict and receive a solution proposal by the conciliator.
With accepting the proposal, the parties reach an agreement which becomes legally binding for everyone involved.
Arbitration
In arbitration, the parties assign the third-party neutral to determine a solution on their behalf.
Furthermore, they vest the arbitrator with the authority of delivering a decision which they accept as legally binding.
ENVIRONMENT
Choose Your Setting.
Individual Setting
The personal setting provides the right environment to work on an issue in-depth and on a regular basis. Get acquainted with communication pattern recognition and learn how to phrase your positions, interests, and needs with clarity and confidence.
Two People
Interactions between two people follow a characteristic dynamic. Taking the particularity of the dyad into account ensures an optimal strategy to deal with issues which need to be solved by both parties. Negotiate your way out of a dead-end and move forward.
Groups
Conflicts in-between groups of three or more people require a case-related approach, considering the individuality of all the parties involved as well as the unique nature of each situation. Confront what needs to be said for the sake of future interactions.
ABOUT
Literature and Background.
Jonas Fischer obtained a PhD in law from the University of Bern, where he conducted a comparative analysis in the specific dangerousness of group dynamics in groups of two, in contrast to three or more offenders in Swiss law, as well as within crimes of conspiracy in US-law. He was a visiting researcher at the University of Saint Louis (SLU), an extern at the Superior Court of California (County of Los Angeles), as well as the Eötvös Lorànd University (ELTE) in Budapest. After working as a legal counsel at the Federal Chancellery of Switzerland and the V. division (Asylum Law) of the Swiss Federal Court of Administration, he obtained a postgraduate degree (BFH Bern) in commercial mediation and opened a boutique law firm together with Irene Schuermann (SCHUERMANNFISCHER coaching mediation counselling services) with offices in Bern and Zurich, a partnership which still remains to this day.
In addition to his work as a counsellor and third-party neutral, he regularly publishes academic articles relevant to his practice. From 2020 to 2023 he was an affiliate with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School. In 2023/2024 he was a lecturer at the University of Zurich (international commercial law) and a visiting researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for International, European and Regulatory Procedural Law (integrated today into the University of Luxembourg as LCEL). Up until recently, he was a member of the Swiss Umbrella Organization for Mediation SDM-FSM (today FSM) as well as the Swiss Chamber for Commercial Mediation (SCCM). His methodology today orients itself towards the negotiation-based Harvard-model as well as interdisciplinary approaches founded in the science of psychology and AI-research. Jonas Fischer is the co-founder and chairperson of MEDORG Ltd, which provides dispute resolution services and digital solutions in the healthcare sector for informed consent.
