Case: Mediation
Three businessmen set up a company and after a while have different views regarding the company. One of them wants to part and start his own company, still in the same sector, and wants to take existing customers with him. It becomes a fight between lawyers, who eventually would benefit from it more than the parting businessmen. We got called in by a partner of the stakeholders to mediate.
We had four sessions with the businessmen, first of all an individual session with each one of them. The first condition was that all legal proceedings should stop immediately. After a bit of tumult, we succeeded. It was mutually agreed that the businessman would buy out the other stakeholders and continue with the existing company. No unnecessary legal costs, with the exception of an excellent notary.
Problem Solved! Duration: 3 weeks, on a part-time basis.
