Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where a neutral third party facilitates communication between partners to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It is often effective in resolving partnership disputes by allowing partners to maintain control over the outcome. Mediation can save time and legal expenses compared to litigation. However, its success depends on the willingness of all parties to cooperate and negotiate in good faith.
If a partner breaches the partnership agreement, it is important to document the breach and consult an attorney promptly.
