Can mediation help if one founder is leaving the company?

Founder IP
Written By Darin M. Klemchuk

Yes. Founder departures often trigger disputes about ownership, licenses, trade secret handling, ongoing obligations, and equity-linked IP rights. Mediation allows parties to negotiate a fair exit structure while protecting the company’s ability to continue operating without legal uncertainty.
