INKOVEMA Podcast „Well through time“

#52 – Reorganisation mediation

Mediation and moderation in the field of corporate reorganisation and restructuring

In conversation with Uwe Kassing

Well through time. The podcast about mediation, conflict coaching and organisational consulting.

Uwe Kassing lives and works in Hamburg and Leipzig. Following his training as a mediator and the entry into force of the ESUG and the Mediation Act in 2012, he has dedicated himself exclusively to supporting self-administration proceedings in small and medium-sized companies as a restructuring mediator. The focus of his work is on out-of-court restructuring mediation and the reorganisation of companies by means of an insolvency plan. In his view, mediation skills and the support of consensual solutions to conflicts through transparent communication between all parties involved in the proceedings are a key success factor, particularly in self-administration proceedings.
