Hoffmann Mediation -
Business Divorce & Ownership Disputes
Despite their best intentions, business owners often find
themselves in disputes with each other. Sometimes referred to a
“business divorce”, these disputes necessitate consulting attorneys,
accountants and valuation experts and may give rise to litigation.
Experience suggests that mediation of business ownership disputes in
advance of litigation is critical – internal disputes have a
significant negative effect on business morale, profitability and
growth. Owners need a confidential, impartial forum in which to
resolve disagreements before they impact the private operations and
public image of the company.
Hoffmann Mediation brings clients extensive experience in mediating
ownership business disputes, involving partners in many fields of
business, including service and manufacturing industries, franchise
and licensing and legal and accounting firms. Assisting small
business in a critical ownership dispute can produce positive results
for all parties and avoid tarnishing the business and its image.
Mediation of ownership disputes is also critical in franchised and
licensed operations – franchisors report that the major impediment to
franchise growth comes from feuding franchisees who lose sight of
their business goals. Assisting these business owners in maintaining
their franchise operations and successfully resolving their disputes
is a specialty in which I have mediated with very positive results.
