»Hello, I am Matthias Bergmann«
Born as a the third child of five into a creative and turbulent family of a family court judge and a language teacher I began negotiating at an early stage of my life. Mostly these early conflict resolutions where dealing with conflicts of interest regarding siblings, toys and food. My interest in child custody and family law developed early in my legal education. Meanwhile I also trained as a negotiator and gained thorough experience in real life negotiations. At the end of my professional training I started working at the United Nations, adding several years of international experience to my CV.
Today I work as an independent negotiation trainer and child custody lawyer in Hamburg. In my capacity as a lawyer I work all over Germany. As a negotiation expert my expertise is used by businesses and administrations in Germany, the UK and Norway. The experiences in these two fields of expertise compliment each other in many ways, providing me with invaluable insight into different possible forms of conflict resolution. My focus however is providing comprehensive support to families under pressure in the difficult reality of the german family law.
In my privat life I am trying to explore the world in its full complexity and diversity. I play the cello at the „Junge Symphoniker Hamburg“, keep my own bees and try to explore Hamburg and ist many waterways.
