SMALL BUSINESS AND FAMILY LAW

Words of Warning - Family Law conflict and running a small business don't mix.  There have been countless times when we have seen the family income suffer as a result of the relationship breakdown.  Quite often the business has been the only income and employment of both parties. When separation occurs the results can have an extreme negative impact on the family's income and the potential complete failure of the small business.

Avoid court proceedings.  Where ever possible avoiding court proceedings can minimise the escalation of conflict. The best way to resolve conflict involving small business is to engage with lawyers who practice collaboratively or in the more formal sense of collaborative law.  The alternative is to engage in mediation with  or without the involvement of lawyers in the mediation process.

Commencing high conflict rigorous negotiations and/or court proceedings may put the family run business at risk of failure or financial loss and damage the relationship between the parties.
