Family Businesses
Dispute resolution within family businesses
Disputes within family businesses are generally of a personal and far-reaching nature. They affect not only family relationships, but also the relationships within the business. Within the family business, these disputes generally have an impact at different levels: the shareholders' meeting, the management board and – if there is one – the supervisory board. The consequences that disputes have for decision-making and business operations, and the continuity of both, can be severe. What do you do if a dispute arises within your business?
