What are the benefits of utilizing mediation to resolve a business dispute?

It’s funny, but business disputes are often with people with whom you spend more time than with your own family. When relationships matter, it really makes sense to pay attention to how you’re going to make the decisions, not just what the decisions are. If you hope to have a good ongoing relationship, business or otherwise with your business partner, it really makes sense to focus on a mediative-type process that will consider what’s important to both of you as you work through the challenges of renegotiating your business deal.
