We expect that most matters will be resolved within the flat fee, but there are occasions when the time needed for a matter may exceed the time afforded in these flat fees, and those occasions are discussed in the Resolution Agreement. But do not worry, no fees will be incurred without your prior approval. If you do use a credit card, a 3.5% fee is charged for all fees of any kind that require a credit card transaction.

The Resolution Process
Our business divorce specialists know how to craft an exit strategy and get the dispute resolved. Confidentially. At a fraction of the price of litigating.
Step I
The Parties will meet with the Resolution Specialist to discuss the process and have the opportunity for an “opening statement” intended to summarize your position.
Step II
The Resolution Specialist will move back and forth between the rooms, viewing key documents and confidentially discussing facts with the parties.
Step III
Once the issues are understood, the Resolution Specialist will provide a case evaluation and go back and forth between the rooms in an attempt to reach a resolution. During this time, the Resolution Specialist will be sharing with you his or her experiences, likelihood of success, and assisting you in weighing risk based on business divorce law. If this process goes beyond one day, do not worry. The meeting will be continued for another date and a new daily fee will be required.
Step IV
The Resolution Specialist will move back and forth between the rooms, crafting a resolution that is agreeable to both sides. You are not obligated to reach a resolution, but the chances of being able to resolve the matter are exponentially higher in our program than on your own.
Step V
At the end of the day, the meeting is closed, and the parties move on in accordance with the agreement.
Step VI
No court is involved in the process. At the end of the day, the problem is solved, and the parties have the option to use our flat fee corporate documents service to draft the corporate documents contemplated by the agreement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
What if we are contemplating a business buy out and require a business, real estate, or inventory/equipment valuation. Can you perform a valuation?
Yes. There are times that a deal cannot finalize without knowing the proper value of a business, inventory and equipment, or real estate. However, hiring a valuator can be expensive and time consuming. For that reason, we have a team of the most reputable valuators in Georgia who can provide the Resolution Specialist with a nuts and bolts valuation tailored to the level of detail required by the parties. At the end of the valuation, you will receive a report that will be shared with the Resolution Specialist who will, in turn, share it with the parties. Please know that the valuation report is a tool used for this resolution process and it will remain confidential after the close of the program. It cannot be used in litigation if this program is unsuccessful, or to support a criminal investigation, and the valuator cannot be called as a witness to discuss his or her findings. The flat fee price for this service is $5,000 for up to ten hours. Most valuation reports should be able to be completed in this time frame.
What if there are accusations of theft and self-dealing. Do you have a forensic accountant who can draft a report?
Yes. In some cases it is necessary to find out how money has been spent in the company before a resolution can be made. For that reason, we have a team of top tier forensic accountants who can provide the Resolution Specialist with a neutral, confidential summary of the flow of the money in the company, which the Specialist will then share with the parties. This report, however, cannot be used to support a claim of theft or self-dealing. It is a resolution tool used to reach an agreement only. It is confidential and cannot be used in litigation or to support a criminal investigation. The forensic accountant cannot be called as a witness to discuss his or her findings. The flat fee price for this service is $5,000 for up to ten hours. Most forensic reports should be able to be completed in this time frame.
What if the company involves intellectual property, computer code, or electronic assets? Do you have a forensic IT consultant who can draft a report and preserve and transfer assets?
Yes. If your dispute requires the services of a forensic IT consultant, we have you covered. The forensic IT consultant acts as a neutral party to preserve property, perform searches, issue reports, and transfer property. The work performed by the forensic IT consultant is directed by the Resolution Specialist based on agreement of the parties, and the work is performed for the purposes of settlement only. It is confidential and cannot be used in litigation or to support a criminal investigation. The forensic IT consultant cannot be called as a witness to discuss his or her findings. The flat fee price for this service is $5,000 for up to ten hours. Most work should be able to be completed in this time frame.
What if we need business documents drafted after the meeting, like a new operating agreement or corporate resolutions. Can you draft those?
Yes, we have business transactional attorneys who will draft the corporate documents contemplated by your settlement agreement for a flat fee of $3,000 for a total of eight hours of work. Most documents will be able to be completed in this amount of time. The transactional attorney will represent the company (not the parties) and work with both sides (however, nothing said to the transactional attorney will be confidential), and he or she will prepare the documents for you that are needed to properly document the corporate changes agreed upon.
