Sophie works with businesses to mediate disputes such as founder disputes in startups, partnership dissolutions and terminations, and family business transitions. Business disputes are often as emotionally fraught as family disputes, and often the two types of disputes overlap. Sophie works with parties to find resolutions that are mutually agreeable, and address the concerns of all parties. Mediation is highly preferable in this context as legal resolution of small business disputes is intensely costly and time consuming, and can often cause the business to fail. Working through conflicts together allows businesses to thrive, and for parties who are departing a partnership to find new success.

Koven Mediation offers small business mediation services to help provide resolutions to all of the following difficult situations:

• Partnership dissolution

• Buy-outs
