Inicio - Servicios - Mediation for startups and companies

Mediation for startups and companies is a tool used to resolve disputes quickly, confidentially and efficiently, often avoiding the financial costs and strain of court proceedings. In business environments where agility and decision-making ability are critical, reaching mutually agreed solutions can make the difference between preserving a commercial relationship and jeopardizing a project's continuity.

Startups and growing companies often face complex situations arising from shareholders' agreements, disagreements between founders, conflicts with investors, contractual disputes or differing interpretations of commitments made during business development. If these situations are not managed properly, they can directly affect the company's operations and its growth prospects.

UR Global understands that every dispute has legal, financial and strategic implications. We therefore approach mediation comprehensively, helping the parties identify shared interests, facilitate dialogue and reach agreements that preserve business relationships and minimise risks. Our aim is not merely to resolve a single dispute, but to restore stability and certainty.

Disputes are part of business life. As a startup grows, adds partners, raises investment or expands internationally, the likelihood of disagreements affecting decisions and normal operations also increases.

Mediation is an effective alternative to court proceedings. In a structured process led by specialists, the parties can find consensual solutions that limit financial and reputational impact while preserving business relationships where possible.

What does the mediation service include?

We begin with a preliminary legal and business analysis of the dispute, its origin, scope and implications, and assess whether mediation is the most appropriate route.

We design a process for the case, facilitate communication, identify shared interests and help build viable, lasting agreements.

We also support formalisation of the agreement and coordinate other legal, tax or corporate advice when required.

Methodology

Our method is based on neutrality, confidentiality and business-oriented solutions. We first identify the issues and each party’s objectives.

We then structure sessions to build mutual understanding, explore alternatives and encourage transparent communication leading to balanced, realistic agreements.

For international, corporate or financial disputes, our multidisciplinary approach ensures consistency with the company’s global strategy and legal obligations.
