Company Succession
The path to suitable company succession is a major challenge in practice. Once a solution has been found, the involved parties breathe a sigh of relief. However, in most cases, too little attention is paid to the actual process of handing over the business. Mediation proceedings are best to address the uniqueness and complexity of disputes that arise in implementing a company succession plan.
