How to prepare for mediation
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have agreed to turn to mediation to settle a long-running dispute, but what’s the route to a successful resolution?
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — formerly known as ‘Brangelina’ — have reportedly agreed to enter mediation to resolve their dispute over the €150m French Château Miraval vineyard they once co-owned.
The break-up of the Hollywood power couple in 2016 sparked a long legal battle over the vineyard in Provence after Jolie sold her share to a Russian billionaire.
Pitt said he did not consent to Jolie selling a stake of the vineyard to Yuri Shefler, the 55-year-old head of the Stolichnaya vodka empire, arguing the sale was invalid and sparking a bitter legal battle which mediation might hold the key to ending.
