Family Business Mediation

In the emotionally intimate context of family, we often blend together family and business relationships. Families in concurrent business relationships rarely develop written plans for dispute resolution and decision-making difficulties. An attorney is often required for legal advice and for contracting a final agreement.

Family business mediation is the application of human systems analysis and evidenced-based relationship principles that specifically address business decision making and dispute resolution in the context of the assumptions and expectations of family intimacy in family and stepfamily business relationships. An understanding and application of brain science is a vital component of family business mediation.
