Mediation Services For Partnership Disputes
Disputes between business partners or shareholders can be urgent and destructive. A quick and efficient resolution is the best way to protect your interests, but that is easier said than done.
Mediation is one way to de-escalate partnerships and find a practical and cost-efficient disposition. I am Patricia M. Davis, a certified mediator with over 35 years of experience in business law, including mediating business partnership disputes. I practice in Houston and the surrounding counties of Texas.
One way to avoid disputes between business partners is to have well-constructed agreements in place. My business consulting practice includes drafting and revising partnership agreements and shareholder agreements. Sometimes the roles and expectations are simply not well defined. Another common problem is that partners go into business together without a formal mechanism in place for resolving conflicts, such as mediation.
Resolving Disputes Within Businesses
The mediations involve businesses of various types including corporations, limited liability companies, professional associations, etc. Businesses can contact me for confidential assistance in mediating issues that have arisen. These issues may have caused the partners to be at an impasse and not allow them to move forward productively in operating their business.
Mediations are not only for cases that are in litigation. Non-litigation related mediations are an effective tool for resolving disputes among partners so that the businesses can continue to grow and prosper.
These types of problems, if not addressed can eventually lead to businesses having to close due to no way to move past the conflicts and continue to operate the business. The partners are then faced with a loss of income and net worth. Closing a business that was considered to be a retirement vehicle can have a devastating financial effect on the partners.
