Business Mediation: How Can That Help Me?

Business People In A Mediation Meeting

Business mediation can present itself in many different forms from having issues with a:

  • Co-worker
  • Business partner
  • HR issue
  • Associate
  • Separate business
  • Family business

The process of mediation helps both parties involved talk about the issues at hand and listen to one another while working together to create a fair agreement that works for all parties involved. This helps parties involved by coming to a neutral space outside of the office to be able to discuss their concerns openly with the other party and the mediator. We work with the parties together in the same room to make sure both parties feel comfortable and have the opportunity to speak and voice their concerns.

If the process includes separating a business there are lots of procedures involved, who gets the business? Will one partner buy the other out? Will you sell the business to another party or larger company? Will the company dissolve? There are many different options and we can help you think through those options long term so you can determine what is fair and equitable for both parties involved.

If the issues presenting themselves are with a co-worker there is the option to air it out in mediation instead of in the office- sometimes handling things internally isn’t always the best option. We can work with both parties to resolve the issues occurring in the work place.

If there are two separate businesses that are having conflict over something and they want to settle things in a less expensive and amicable way, we can help assist you with resolving those issues by working together in mediation.

Examples:

  • Partnership agreement
  • Purchase of business
  • Sale of business
  • Buy/sell agreement
  • Owner/customer dispute
  • Employee Issues
  • Internal business issues
