Partnership & Shareholder Disputes Protect your stake.
Representation for owners in disputes over control, fiduciary duty, deadlock, distributions, and buyouts in closely held companies.
The short version
In a closely held company, how you respond to the first sign of conflict often decides whether the business keeps its value.
Ownership disputes grow out of diverging expectations, changes in direction, or allegations of misconduct and exclusion from decision-making. Because the relationships are personal as well as financial, they escalate quickly.
Voting thresholds, valuation procedures, redemption rights, and dispute mechanisms in your governing documents may decide the outcome. We review them, and how courts read them, before positions are taken.
