Disputes involving confidential information and trade secrets arise when sensitive business information is misappropriated or disclosed without permission. They often arise out of the breakdown of an employment or some other business, such as a partnership or joint venture. Mediation offers a confidential and collaborative environment where participants can resolve their disputes efficiently, preserving business relationships and avoiding the high costs and public exposure of litigation. In mediation, participants can negotiate bespoke outcomes that suit their needs, and may even be able to preserve or rescue faltering business relationships.
