Small Business/Family Business Mediation

Relationships within small and family businesses undergo extraordinary stresses over time. The intricacies of partner, sibling, spousal, in-law, and intergenerational connect­ions, combined with the pressures of a competitive business environment, can break even the strongest families and businesses if no effective channel exists for conflict resolution.

New Resolution mediators provide this channel. We will guide you through a construct­ive and confidential conversation, managed by our expert facilitators, ensuring the optimal conditions to explore an often complex web of personal and financial consider­ations.

Small and family business mediation usually has two distinct but inter-related goals: restoring broken relationships, and breaking through impasse that threatens the performance of the business. We know that both goals are important — although both may not be equally important to all participants.

Our mediators will help you recognize and address differences in values, temperam­ent, data perception, and business outlook. We’ll also surface structural aspects of your relationship and highlight points in which interests diverge. These are just some of the approaches we use to support your family and the business you’ve worked so hard to build.
