You Might Be Angry, Frustrated, and Stressed with Your Business Partner. Your Best Option Is Mediation. Here's Why:

You feel stuck. Your partner doesn't treat you like a partner. Maybe your partner is not doing their part. Communication is broken. You know something has to change. When you try to talk, things blow up.

I deal with these issues every day. You don't want to get lawyers involved because that costs way too much money. You don't want to sue anybody. Besides, no lawyer can guarantee victory.

When you choose mediation with me, I'll help get all the partners to the table and talking like adults. No bickering. No accusations. I'll get the issues out for discussion and guide you toward solutions. Sometimes a partnership needs new rules. Sometimes it's best to break up the partnership. Whether you need help getting partners into their "lanes", guidance on developing a Partnership Agreement, or mediation to conduct a buyout arrangement; you have come to the right place.

Chris Reich, Mediator

Honest, Expert, and Fair Partnership Mediation

I help business partners work out our their differences and grow their businesses using my relaxed, cost-effective method. Almost all cases are resolved in fewer than 15 hours at a rate that is a fraction of a single lawyer. (You only need 1 mediator)

We Can Work It Out or Get You Out or Get Your Partner Out

Most business partnership problems can be resolved. It takes creative thinking to find solutions that satisfy everyone's wishes. That's my specialty. You will feel much better as soon as you start the process with me.

Negotiated Buyouts

Sometimes people just can't work together. If that's the case, I will help you work out a separation that is fair. Let me take the heat. I'll guide the partners to a good resolution. And, I'll help you with terms that protect you from future liability.

Great Success Rate

I've fixed some very intense situations. I've worked with partners who, before I started with them, threw punches at each other. Not every partnership can be guided to a happy conclusion because there are people who do not want solutions. There are people who like to fight. Some people refuse to allow even a small concession. If the partners are mentally balanced, we'll work out a win-win.

You Have Rights

What if your partner refuses to talk with you? You have rights and your partner has legal obligations. It's always best to work things out but if that's not possible, you need someone who can help you with your rights as a partner. If your partner(s) is so bad that he won't even consider your point of view, I can help organize your case for a business lawyer.

You Have Options to Resolve Your Partnership Problem:

  1. I can guide a meeting with all partners (This keeps the meeting calm, on track, and productive. Everyone is heard, not just the loudest.)
  2. I can draft agreements and resolutions (Make your agreements binding and lasting)
  3. I can negotiate partner separation (You know if you want out. Let me help with those talks so you get a fair deal.)

Simple process and low "by the hour" rates. Start with as little as a 2-hour meeting.

Chris' Philosophy

1.

Respect Comes First

All talks are handled respectfully. No matter how frustrated people are with each other, all our work will be conducted with respect. Respect builds trust. Trust opens the door to agreements.

2.

Mediation Must Be Affordable

I pay attention to cost throughout the process. It would be silly to waste money if there is no hope for success. Most cases resolve in fewer than 15 hours. If there is a single issue to work out, I've had success in a single meeting and good written resolution.

3.

Achieve Lasting Results

When under duress, people will agree to anything. Do you think waiting for anger to fade and hastily making an agreement will make a lasting difference? It won't. Talking things through with an experienced mediator works. People keep agreements when they feel 'heard'.
