We believe that it is possible to practice law in a different way, promoting communication, transparency and cooperation. Mediation can help you with your business dispute out of court. Participants gain a great deal of decision-making power over the outcome of their dispute through mediation. The comments exchanged and the documents shared or signed in mediation are strictly confidential and cannot be re-used as evidence in a court of law. This measure is intended to promote the free flow of exchanges and to provide a climate of trust and transparency during discussions where everyone will feel comfortable confiding in each other.
How Propulsio can help!
- Propulsio’s certified mediator will share their specialized knowledge and mediation experience with both parties;
- Ensures confidentiality for both parties;
- Promote dialogue and the exchange of information in a respectful manner;
- Help participants put together the solution that will satisfy them by bringing a fresh and objective look at the situation and initiating new ways of communicating;
- Avoid long court delays, exorbitant costs and complex legal proceedings;
- Ensure that the participants have been able to express themselves freely and are satisfied with the result obtained following the discussion.
Shareholders are the owners of a corporation. They often do not have the right documentation to protect their interests. A shareholders’ agreement sets out in detail the rights afforded to each shareholder. Not having an agreement in place can often lead to disputes, which can be costly.
When parties go into business, there is a fair amount of trust and goodwill. All interested parties want the business to succeed. More often than not, little attention is paid to what would happen if a difference of opinion emerges. A well-drafted shareholders’ agreement will set out, in writing, all parties’ intentions and obligations, reducing future dispute potential.

- Find the right experts from related fields to assess your personal situation (tax specialist, accountant, insurer).

How Propulsio can help!
