Small Business Mediation

Small Business Mediation

“No Small business makes any money in the courtroom, except the litigators.”

Our expert small business mediators produce just results and confidential settlements.  We work with verbal and written agreements, contracts, insurance claims, payments, RIF’s, vendors, employment relationships and most business issues where there is a conflict or disagreement of a serious nature, often prior to investing in litigation and also once that process has begun.

Small businesses are the development area for cutting edge business practices such as proactive mediation or early intervention mediation. This field is where fundamental changes occur in the business marketplace and in the workplace. Our specialized small business mediation practice allow Alternative Law to settle conflicts promptly, restructure organizations, and repair relationships, operating with your legal team or independently without lawyers prior to litigation.

Small business mediation promotes early intervention and quick resolution. It allows companies to respond much more quickly to the issues at hand, prevent escalation, and control costs because they are able to reduce the amount of time and resources devoted to managing unproductive conflict activities.

Resolving cases when they are about to be involved in litigation is another key  areas of our practice. We understand the realities of legal process and how it interrupts and how it  impacts ongoing small business.  It is necessary that our mediators have been small business owners and managers in order to understand fully all of the factors and dynamics involved in small business conflicts.

We work with your lawyers if you have them and with you directly, if you do not, to  achieving prompt cost-effective mediation results. Our role is to clarify the business problems, deal with conflicts directly, and produce systematic results within a defined time period. Like most successful small businesses, we stand completely behind our work. Unlike litigators, your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back.
