Chairing a recent ‘boardroom wars’ seminar, I was struck how often speakers likened boardroom disputes to stressful divorces, or mentioned high front-loaded litigation costs. It doesn’t need to be that way. For ‘relationship’ disputes, mediation can be es…https://t.co/KG2hi2iSri
Stuck in a dispute with a fellow director, shareholder or business partner?
