Chris Reich, Business Partnership Mediation and Advice

General, Not Legal Advice to Help with Your Business Partnership

Obviously, I cannot get all the details for a single posted question so my advice is general and applicable to most similar situations. My position is generally try to work things out while improving the business or get you out of the partnership. Most of the time, things can be worked out if all parties make some effort.

Because I work as a mediator, moderator is a better term, I do not give legal advice. Asking a question doesn't put us in a client relationship. While it's always better to avoid legal disputes and to work things out between partners, I will recommend lawyers on occasion. Sometimes, court is the true last resort.

50/50 Business Partner Deadlock: How Mediation Breaks the Stalemate Without Destroying the Company

A 50/50 business partner deadlock is a decision failure, not automatically the end of the company. Mediation helps equal owners identify exactly what is blocked, separate business facts from accumulated grievances, and negotiate a workable path – renewed decision rules, a division of authority, a buyout, or an orderly separation. The mediator does not impose the result; the owners retain control of the outcome.

When the Problem Partner Doesn’t Propose Solutions

Sadly, the ugly reality is that if your partner complains but doesn’t offer solutions, he’s no longer a partner. A wise lawyer once taught me this important lesson when he was drawn into a nasty partnership dispute that I was working on. One of the partners was always complaining that the other was never bringing ideas to the table. The lawyer, after listening to the whining for 15 minutes said, “Tom, you need to learn to deal with the partner you have, not the one you wish you had.”
