Shareholder disputes are common, even in small businesses. They can involve simple and complex issues, and often include problems around expectations.

Like any close relationship, mediation can help parties to unpack the emotional aspects, find common ground and discuss the best way to move forward.

Sometimes, a party must move on, or take over. But if there’s a mutual benefit to continue working together, mediation is a great way to resolve tensions and find solutions for the future of the business.
