Legal Partnership Disputes

Typical challenges:

• You need to elevate dialogue within the practice from short term and back to strategic interests of the partnership
• Disagreements are threatening value already created and hampering creation of new wealth
• Business cycle has changed the balance of fee earners in the practice, and internal pressures have built
• A partner’s fee earning performance has noticeably changed and this has created difficulties in agreeing on how to respond

A mediated conversation will cut through communication barriers and create a business based dialogue to enable focus on:

• Preserving relations
• Achieving fair outcomes
• Enabling partnership changes and early return to building successful futures

Other areas where mediation can help:

• Failure to collect your fee for work carried out
• Disputes with clients over quality of work conducted
