Business Disputes

Reuben Mediation helps parties resolve complex business disputes efficiently, privately, and with a focus on long-term outcomes. Led by experienced trial lawyer and mediator Tim Reuben, the practice serves companies, business owners, executives, and counsel seeking a pragmatic alternative to litigation.

With more than four decades of experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in high-value commercial litigation, Mr. Reuben understands how legal risk, business strategy, and interpersonal dynamics intersect in business conflicts. His approach is direct, reality-based, and designed to move parties toward resolution without unnecessary delay.

Types of business disputes handled include:

• Breach of contract and commercial agreement disputes
• Partnership and shareholder conflicts
• Joint venture and investment disagreements
• Business torts, including fraud, misrepresentation, and interference
• Vendor, supplier, and service provider disputes
• Internal governance and fiduciary duty matters

Mr. Reuben’s background as a business owner gives him a unique perspective on the financial and operational considerations that often drive these disputes. He works closely with parties to clarify priorities, assess risk, and focus on what is needed to move forward.

Mediations are conducted in person at Reuben Mediation’s West Los Angeles offices or virtually for parties located throughout California. The process is confidential, structured, and supported by full-service administrative coordination.
