Mediation between partners, in SMEs and teams
A conflict between partners can paralyse an SME within weeks. Mediation provides a structured, confidential setting to decide whether to continue, reorganise or part ways — without public litigation.
The situations we encounter
Business conflicts mix governance, finance, professional plans and human relationships. The longer they last, the more positions harden and the more the value of the company erodes.
- Strategic disagreements between partners or shareholders
- Preparing or litigating the departure of an executive
- Tensions between founders, deadlock in general meetings
- Persistent managerial or team conflicts
- Contractual disagreements with a supplier, client or partner
- Family business succession
Confidentiality and keeping the business running
Court proceedings between partners are public and can damage reputation, strain relationships with banks and clients, and demoralise teams. Mediation preserves the confidentiality of the discussions and lets you keep running the company during the process.
Agreements can be formalised in shareholders' agreements, separation agreements or transition agreements.
Working with your usual advisers
Mediation complements the work of lawyers, trustees and governance advisers. It addresses what no technical expert can resolve alone: the relational dimension that blocks decisions.
Request a first conversation
The first conversation is confidential and without obligation. It clarifies your situation and assesses whether mediation is the right fit.
