MEDIATING FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS ISSUES

Running a family-owned small business can be stressful, with issues that need resolution rather than litigation.  The parties may need to keep the relationship alive for the sake of the business, or they may want to part as amicably as possible with a "business divorce."  Either way, mediation to save the business or to end it is by far the better way in almost all cases where personal relationships matter.


Mediation offers a way forward with dignity to resolve family, personal or business conflicts. Mediation is confidential, convenient, and compassionate; evening and Saturday appointments minimize distractions that interfere with your workday. Mediation saves you time and money while reducing the stress that accompanies major family or business conflicts.

The magic of mediation, the time when “shift happens,” occurs when people who have been hurt, angry, defensive, devious, etc., suddenly stop “talking at” each other and shift into really listening and brainstorming for solutions.  It has been my privilege to provide a useful service to lots of really nice people who just happen to need a bit of assistance with figuring out what is fair and right for their unique situation.  I have been offering family mediation and divorce mediation in Pasadena since 2006.


I accept referrals for all aspects of family mediation, including divorce and parenting mediations, elder care, and conversations that may or may not lead to a prenuptial agreement.   For more information, please visit www.georgiadaniels.com  or give me a call at 626.441.1900.
