What is Mediation?
Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral third party – the mediator – helps people in dispute reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, the mediator doesn’t take sides or make decisions, but instead guides the conversation, helping both parties clarify issues, explore options, and find common ground. If you’re facing conflict – whether in business, law, or everyday life – and want a faster, more flexible alternative to court, this podcast is for you.

Episode 10: Partnership Over! Mediate the Mess
When professional relationships break down, the dispute is often more complex than just money.
In this episode, David and I tackle the complicated world of shareholder and partnership disputes. We discuss why these conflicts are often intensely personal and commercial, moving beyond simple money claims to include breaches of restrictive covenants, procurement arguments, and bad blood in niche industries.
Tune in to understand:
The core legal complexities of shareholder disputes (e.g., non-compete clauses and client solicitation).
How a three-party mediation might arise from a breach of covenant.
Why partnership disputes, often lacking formal agreements, can be the hardest to untangle.
The various resolutions sought in these cases, from financial damages to undertakings.
Discover why mediation is the essential tool for resolving these personal and commercial messes without airing your dirty laundry in public.
Together, we unpack the real strategies, tips, and insights behind successful mediation.
Tune in to ensure your clients are calm, focused, and ready to resolve the conflict!
