Types of disputes handled
Mediation is often ideal for business conflicts including:
- Disagreements over roles, responsibilities, equity, profit sharing
- Strategic direction, decision-making, or growth plans
- Trust breakdown, miscommunication, or perceived unfairness
- Contractual disputes, breaches, or performance issues “Deadlock” between partners or tied votes
- Disputes between business colleagues, management teams, or collaborators
What does the mediation process look like?
- Pre-mediation intake & diagnostic meeting
We speak with each party to understand the facts, interests and clarify what they need/desire from the process. - Issue framing and agenda setting
The mediator helps define the core issues to be addressed, goals, and acceptable boundaries. - Joint session(s)
The parties convene (in person or virtually). The mediator ensures structured dialogue, fairness of opportunity to speak, helps manage emotions, reframes, and teases out creative problem options. - Negotiation, option generation, settlement exploration
We jointly brainstorm possible solutions, test feasibility, and narrow toward terms acceptable to all. - Agreement drafting & implementation plan
If consensus is reached, we codify the agreement and map out how to monitor, evaluate or revisit the agreement over time.
Why mediation is a strong choice for business conflicts
- Maintains working relationships and reputation
- Gives parties control over outcomes (rather than leaving decisions to a court)
- Faster, lower cost, and less disruptive than litigation
- Helps preserve business continuity
- Can address both technical and relational issues
- Confidential and private (no public record)
