Solutions / Dispute Types

Partnership dissolution is rarelyclean without a neutral.

When business partnerships end — whether by mutual agreement or conflict — valuation disputes, contribution claims, client allocation, and goodwill arguments can make resolution contentious. INDS™ provides the independent evaluation that enables fair outcomes.

INDS™ Pathway Prevention Evaluation Expert Det. Mediation Arbitration

Common dispute types

What brings parties to TheNeutrals.ORG™.

Every matter is different. What is consistent is the INDS™ methodology applied to evaluate it — six stages, four sub-frameworks, independent of all parties.

Valuation disputes

Partners disagree on the value of the business or each partner's share. INDS™ independently assesses the financial record and evaluation methodology.

Asset and liability allocation

Disagreements on how assets, debts, and obligations are distributed on dissolution. INDS™ maps entitlement and exposure.

Client and IP allocation

Disputes over which departing partner retains which client relationships, contracts, and intellectual property.

Breach of partnership agreement

One partner alleges breach of the partnership deed — breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation, exclusion. INDS™ evaluates the factual record.

Goodwill and contribution

Disputes about how goodwill has been built, by whom, and how it should be recognised on exit.

Covenants on exit

Post-dissolution restrictions — non-solicitation, non-compete — and whether they have been or will be breached.

How INDS™ handles this

Six stages. Every time. No exceptions.

INDS™ is the proprietary six-stage evaluation system that powers every TheNeutrals.ORG™ engagement. Each stage is mandatory. Each sub-framework is applied. The output is an 11-section report with executive summary, risk grid, settlement feasibility score, and strategic pathway.
