When business partners disagree on punitive versus restorative responses to harm

My business partner experienced serious financial harm from a client's breach of contract and wants to pursue legal action, but I believe in Ubuntu principles and want to try a healing-centered approach first. We're both feeling unheard and our different responses to conflict are creating tension between us when we need to be united.
