Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else have your way.

Mediating conflicts to enable M&A transactions

MLI may provide our Clients with valuable insight that will help them proceed through the following:

• Mergers, acquisitions, franchises, asset transactions

• Avoidance of litigation, which depletes time and money, impairs reputations and brands, distracts from core business and triggers opportunity costs
• Discovery of, and capitalization upon, linkages, synergies and bargaining chips – be they compensation, corporate reengineering, peripheral transactions, reorganizations – to facilitate negotiating process and maximize returns

MLI fosters a constructive dialogue between M&A participants, or those involved in corporate conflicts, to find mutually beneficial solutions and balance the requirements of all parties involved.

MLI does not get involved with judicial control (for example, to enforce a court order), criminal and/or constitutional matters.
Outcomes of mediation
Following successful negotiations, the mediator usually creates an official document or agreement (a protocol), which delineates equitable, legal and practical obligations satisfactory to all parties involved in the transaction or dispute.
Once a mutually agreeable solution is arrived at, the mediator, at the parties’ option, may act as an independent observer ensuring that the sides’ interests are preserved and resolving issues – if any were to arise – thus avoiding missteps or failure.
