A good offense is typically the best defense against costly disputes.  This requires business owners to be proactive, addressing potential issues up front to avoid disputes later.  Sometimes this can be as simple as inserting a proper dispute resolution clause into your contracts, but more often it requires things like:

• Marrying a business’ contracts to its sales and marketing efforts so that they are never out of sync.
• Adequately protecting confidentiality, intellectual property and other valuable assets of the business.
• Implementation of sound practices and procedures to identify and address issues before they cause your business problems.
• Negotiating contracts that properly understand leverage, accounts for the interests of all concerned in manners that will prove durable and provides a clear, practical path out for the parties should the relationship fail.
