Business mediation
Partners going separate ways, without suing each other
Partners who built something together usually want two things when they part: a fair split, and not to spend the business on lawyers fighting over it.
We help you write down who keeps what, how one of you buys the other out, and what you'll tell your customers. Each of you can bring your own lawyer or accountant. A full-day session suits most partnerships.
Partners, co-owners and family businesses
Your own lawyer or accountant is welcome
Full-day sessions for matters with many moving parts
What partners work out with us
Bring the numbers you have. We'll tell you before the session which ones help most.
A buyout
A price, a method for setting one, and how it's paid over time.
Splitting the clients
Who keeps which accounts and how you'll tell them.
The lease, the name, the equipment
What stays with the business and what goes with each of you.
Handing a family business on
Agreeing on roles and timing when a parent steps back from running it.
Questions about business mediation
Do we need a valuation first?
Not always. Sometimes partners agree on a method in mediation and get the valuation afterward. We'll talk through what you have on the fit call.
Can our accountant join?
Yes. An accountant or lawyer for either partner can join a session, or review the summary before you sign anything.
Is a full day really needed?
Not for every partnership. A smaller dispute, like a single customer or a piece of equipment, often fits in a half day.
Talk through the split before anyone files
Either partner can book a fit call. We speak with each of you alone first.
