Litigation & Disputes

The Solutionist Group employs a unique family-focused approach to resolving disputes through their Solution-Oriented Dispute Resolution (SODR) process. This method is designed to be confidential, practical, and flexible, providing cost-effective and timely resolutions. By facilitating family conversations and negotiations, the process aims to repair relationships, address underlying issues, and restore mutual respect and trust, ultimately delivering enforceable agreements or decisions that bring closure to all parties involved. The SODR process progresses through three phases: facilitation, determination, and independent decision, offering families the ability to select the desired level of authority and enforceability. This structured approach ensures that disputes are resolved constructively without resorting to litigation, making it a safer and less damaging alternative for families and family businesses facing internal conflicts.
