Have Questions?
How can a mediator help with executive employment mediation?

What types of executive separation disputes can mediation help resolve?
Mediation can address disputes involving partner roles, profit/equity splits, management decisions, buyout terms, exit strategies, partnership dissolution, and other potentially more sensitive issues.
Are mediated agreements legally enforceable?
Yes, a mediated agreement is almost always drafted with the intention of being a legally binding contract that is enforceable in court if breached.
Do you offer other employment mediation services?
Yes, mediation can be an effective tool for resolving many other employment issues, including wage and hour disputes, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodation claims, wrongful termination grievances, and other serious employment conflicts. The key is identifying solutions where reaching a negotiated resolution makes more sense than escalating to formal legal proceedings.
