Business Mediation When Selling Your Business

April 10, 2020

selling your companyWhen the time comes to sell your business, you may find yourself at odds with business partners or others who have a stake in the company. In most cases, this will involve such matters as who will be given controlling interest in the company, whether or not certain ideas or products are property of the company or individuals, and various other matters. While these matters could be resolved in court, the process may take months and be a matter of public record. To avoid delays and other difficult situations, it may be best to use mediation. To learn how this can be effective when selling your business, turn to Tampa business attorneys at the Law Office of Robert Eckard & Associates.

Less Formal Setting

Should emotions be running high among those involved in this dispute, using mediation can help in that it will be a less formal setting than a courtroom. Along with allowing everyone to relax a bit, this presents the opportunity for the mediator to suggest innovative solutions to problems. In some cases, an apology or allowing a person to walk away with a certain product idea is all it takes to complete the process of selling a business.

Contract Negotiations

Since selling a business will involve many complex details, it will be critical to have everything clearly spelled out in all contracts associated with the transaction. To do so, always work with business litigation lawyers in Palm Beach FL. Since they can be present during a mediation session, you can rely on their advice to reach an agreement that will best serve everyone involved. To get the results you seek, work closely with Tampa business attorneys who are familiar with mediation.

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
