Types of Shareholder Disputes We Mediate
Curry Law Group mediates a range of shareholder and partnership conflicts: shareholder oppression and freeze-out claims, disputes over dividends and distributions, conflicts over corporate control and management decisions, buyout and valuation disagreements, breach of fiduciary duty claims against directors or officers, disputes over shareholder agreements and voting rights, and minority shareholder rights claims.
Why Mediate Shareholder Disputes
Shareholder litigation can drag on for years, drain company resources, and destroy the business in the process. Mediation is confidential — keeping internal company conflicts out of public records — and lets the parties craft creative solutions like structured buyouts, revised governance terms, or dividend adjustments that a court could not order. It also preserves business continuity.
The Shareholder Mediation Process
The mediator meets with the disputing shareholders (and their attorneys) to identify the core conflicts. The mediator facilitates discussion of each party's concerns and explores options such as buyouts, governance changes, or operational adjustments. Once terms are reached, the mediator drafts a binding settlement agreement enforceable in court.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a buyout be negotiated through mediation? Yes. Mediation often produces structured buyout agreements that let one shareholder exit while the business continues.

Top-Asked Questions
Mediation is a confidential process where a neutral third party (mediator) helps you and the other side communicate and negotiate a settlement. The mediator doesn't decide the case—you do. Mediation is faster, cheaper, and less adversarial than litigation. Many courts require it before trial. We represent your interests throughout.
Mediation is collaborative and private; litigation is adversarial and public. Mediation focuses on interests and creative solutions; litigation decides who's right. Mediation typically costs less and takes months instead of years. You control the outcome in mediation; judges decide in court.
Collaborative law is a process where both parties commit to settling without litigation. Each side has an attorney, and you work with a team (mediator, financial advisor, child specialist) to reach fair agreements. It's especially effective for family law matters. If collaborative efforts fail, both attorneys withdraw.
Yes. In Florida, mediation is confidential and privileged. What's said in mediation cannot be used in court or disclosed without permission. This confidentiality encourages honest communication. Settlement agreements are not confidential unless the parties agree to keep them private.
Yes. If mediation doesn't result in full settlement, unresolved issues can go to court. However, many cases settle in whole or in part through mediation, reducing litigation costs and scope. Even partial settlements from mediation benefit you and the court.
