Commercial Mediation Between Companies and Shareholders

Conflicts are inevitable in the business world – whether between shareholders, between companies, or within contractual relationships with business partners. However, not every dispute has to, or should, end up in court. Increasingly, companies and shareholders are turning to commercial mediation as an efficient, confidential, and constructive method of dispute resolution.

Instead of lengthy and costly court proceedings, mediation offers a fast, flexible, and mutually beneficial solution. Especially in long-standing business relationships or within a company, it is often crucial to resolve conflicts in a way that preserves the business foundation and allows for future cooperation.

Commercial Mediation: Efficient Conflict Resolution for Companies and Shareholders

  • Confidentiality – Unlike court proceedings, which are public, commercial mediation remains discreet and protects your business’s sensitive information.
  • Saving time and costs – As an out-of-court dispute resolution method, mediation is generally much faster and more cost-effective than litigation.
  • Tailored solutions – While courts deliver strictly legal rulings, commercial mediation allows for creative and economically sound agreements.
  • Preserving business relationships – An amicable solution enables the parties to continue working together successfully.
  • Autonomous settlement – The parties themselves develop a solution, rather than having a decision imposed from outside.

Mediation as a sustainable solution for corporate conflicts

  • Conflicts between shareholders – Disputes over strategic decisions, profit distribution, or business succession.
  • Disputes between companies – Conflicts between business partners, suppliers, or competitors.
  • Contractual disagreements – Differences in the interpretation or performance of shareholder agreements or supply contracts.
  • Business succession and family enterprises – Disputes arising during succession planning or among shareholders in family-owned businesses.
