Family businesses mediation helps combine some of the most fascinating, rewarding, and yet difficult experiences of our lives. We are a family business ourselves. We know what you are going through.
The creating of a business, the entrepreneurial vision, the development, the management and the transferring of a business, – all require a different set of skills. Alternative Law’s family business mediation complements these skills by providing a systematic strategic plan. This will address the needs of the business and resolve internal family conflicts to advance the future of the family and the company.
In many business, many people are required to perform more than one function. In family businesses, the close nature of the job, the multiple responsibilities, and personal relationships are so intertwined. It is very difficult to find a balance. Perspectives among family members are affected by many more factors than in an outside company. Our parent and sibling relationships, environment, job responsibilities, are all inter-related. The presence of outside professionals either working or running aspects of the business, and our own unique and shared experiences, sometimes even birth order, are particularly unique to a family businesses.
