Common Causes of Partnership Disputes
Even the most compatible of duos experience conflict. There are several decisions to be made and actions to be taken when running a business, which can quickly and easily lead to disagreements. Common cases of partnership disputes are:
- Disagreement about how business should be run
- Disagreement about the terms of the partnership
- Uneven work distribution
- Failure to meet expectations of the partnership
If you and your partner’s business endeavors are stalled because of interpersonal conflict, call one of our attorneys to help you reach a mutually beneficial conclusion.
Negotiating on a Settlement
Conflicts are natural when two individuals are working together on a project. With two generators of ideas and only one outlet for them, it’s natural for some disagreements to arise over time. Negotiation is a process that involves both parties communicating openly with each other to work towards a solution. In essence, it allows for the business to be salvaged.
An attorney is a powerful tool in the process to ensure that the conversation is productive. When two partners are in a disagreement, their emotions are heightened and there’s likely been some trouble communicating already. Our attorneys will offer guidance and support while allowing issues to be productively resolved face-to-face.
Steps to Effective Negotiation
Negotiation follows a routine process that, when adhered to by all involved, can result in appealing solutions. Negotiating a settlement typically goes as follows:
- Plan: Both parties take the time to thoroughly evaluate the situation and think of the best- and worst- case scenarios or outcomes. It’s a chance to recognize the possible alternatives and determine what the worst deal you would accept is, what factors you’re willing to sacrifice on, and the risks involved if a settlement isn’t reached.
- Declare rules: Declaring rules keeps everyone on the same page and manages expectations. By determining where and for how long they’re negotiating for, both parties can both prepare appropriately.
- Clarify: Offering clarification allows for grievances to be aired by everyone involved, and then for detailed explanations about their desires moving forward and their reasoning behind it.
- Inform the other of your demands and side of the story.
- Bargain and problem solve: Parties work towards a settlement, either competitively or collaboratively. In a competitive scenario, the person seeks to win as much as possible. Collaborative negotiators identify interests and recommend solutions to benefit both parties as a win-win scenario.
- Closure and implementation: Once the terms are agreed upon, a contract is prepared and set into motion, leaving both parties to abide by it moving forward.
A lawyer is a strong addition to negotiating a settlement. By hiring legal help, you gain professional counsel and assistance in reaching a partnership agreement that reflects your best interests.
