It is not uncommon for differences to arise over the course of business. Our mediators have significant business backgrounds that allow them to skillfully navigate and facilitate resolutions concerning: 

Breach of contract.

A mediator will help you avoid litigation and focus on finding solutions when a contract is breached. 

Non-compete and non-disclosure agreements.

Non-compete and non-disclosure agreements are among the most complicated. Unlike many other disputes, it doesn’t just come down to money -- an employer’s reputation, as well as an employee’s career trajectory and their ability to earn a livelihood, are at stake.  

Breach of fiduciary duty.

A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interest of another party. A breach occurs when someone has a responsibility to act in the interests of another and fails to do so. When someone, such as an officer, director or executive, fails to discharge their fiduciary responsibilities, a dispute arises that can be financially and emotionally draining and lead to conflict. The mediators at LIMS are well suited to minimize such conflicts to the satisfaction of all parties.

Partnership disputes.

If a partner fails to honor his or her fiduciary duties, misuses funds, or breaches a contract, it can put the entire business in jeopardy. When a disagreement between partners becomes a complex legal issue, mediation can be an effective process to resolve conflicts and potentially preserve a business relationship.
