Mediation has many advantages over traditional approaches, including the following:

A "win-win" result is often achieved because the agreement is satisfactory to each person.
It is less costly and less stressful than other alternatives, especially litigation
New businesses can move forward more quickly as the principals have a clear, specific agreement about roles, responsibilities, goals and objectives
Existing businesses can continue to grow, no longer encumbered by unresolved conflicts or unclear agreements
The parties’ ability to preserve an existing business relationship is enhanced
A final agreement can usually be reached more quickly
A more confidential, informal, convenient and comfortable atmosphere in which to address issues or conflicts is provided
A mediated agreement is more likely to prevent future litigation

With our professional experience, we can quickly understand your problems and help you creatively resolve the issues. By working together your business has a better chance of success. All our services are based on a philosophy of collaboration.

We, as mediators offer an alternative means of conflict resolution for businesses:

Negotiating an ownership and/or partnership agreement when forming a new business or professional practice
Negotiating an amicable dissolution of an existing business arrangement
Resolving disputes between partners/principals of an existing business
Renegotiating existing ownership and/or a partnership agreement
Resolving workplace conflict
Family business conflicts

Mediation is particularly effective for small and medium size businesses, especially when financial resources prohibits a lengthy adversarial battle. Mediation establishes and maintains successful working relationships. If the relationships in a business are unstable then the difference between success and failure is evident. Mediation works best if started at the onset of a conflict, when communication starts to breakdown. A plan and/or strategy is developed for resolving issues that often block problem solving.

Collaboratively, we develop a strategy for resolving your issues.

Today, many businesses are seeking a new forum other than litigation to resolve internal or external problems. We at Mediation and Collaborative Action Group provide the neutral environment for businesses to negotiate solutions and reduce the risks of business failures.
