Business Mediation

Mediation offers an alternative means of conflict resolution for businesses. Rather than spending significant amounts of time and money on litigation or settlement negotiations, a skilled mediator can often resolve business disputes in hours or days.

At the Law Offices of Steven E. Springer, we recommend mediation as a means of resolving many contact disputes, partnership dissolution conflicts, and consumer lawsuits. Almost all business conflicts can be resolved through mediation.

Mediation is particularly effective for small and medium sized businesses. Such organizations do not usually have the financial resources necessary for a lengthy legal battle over an issue that may be small but vital to their interests. These businesses can avoid litigation entirely.

In the mediation process, the parties can develop solutions to problems involving issues such as:

• Property sale contracts
• Property purchase contracts
• Service contacts
• Manufacturing contracts
• Partnership dissolution
• Employment contracts
• Collections
• Negligence lawsuits
• Shareholder disputes
• Family business succession conflicts

The benefits of corporate mediation are significant. The cost of California business mediation sessions is far less than protracted litigation and courtroom proceedings. The parties remain in control of the process, rather than submitting to a jury or a panel. Those involved in a mediated solution are more likely to abide by that solution, since they helped develop it. The attorneys at our firm believe in the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). We encourage all our business clients to try mediation before embarking on expensive and time-consuming litigation.
