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
