The most any UK Mediator has! If you’ve had quotes from other mediators, how many did they have?!
Family businesses are created through good relationships, unfortunately the preservation of such relationships can be difficult to maintain leading to families falling out for a variety of reasons, placing disastrous effects on a business and its continuance, when it is a family member it makes the dispute that little bit more complicated, possibly drawing other family members into it, whereby sides have to be taken.
By their very nature family business disputes can be particularly contentious regardless of whether you are a director, shareholder or partner. Whether you are facing a claim or are a minority shareholder, an early commercial solution to these types of vulnerable and protracted disputes is a must.
