California Partner Disputes Attorney
Partnership and shareholder disputes are sometimes described as "business divorce." Like a divorce, a parting of business partners or shareholders can involve acrimonious disputes. At the Bez Law Firm, P.C. in Sacramento, California, our attorneys represent businesses as well as individual partners and shareholders in issues such as:
- Allegations of fraud
- Claims of breach of fiduciary duty claims
- Disputes between majority and minority shareholders
- Division of assets among partners
- Division of business debts
- How to divide profits from a company
- Partnership dissolution
- Partnership or business dissolution
Shareholder and partnership disputes often occur many years after the formation of the business. The dispute can be triggered by a divorce or marriage, disagreements over the direction of the business, or other disputes. These disputes can often be complicated by the lack of partnership agreements or by agreements that are not clearly drafted. Then our lawyers get involved to examine those documents or determine what you rights are absent an agreement.
Disputes between partners are often resolved with an agreement where one partner buys out the other. In these circumstances, it's also to include restrictive covenants such as non-competition agreements and nondisclosure of trade secrets to protect the interests of the partner who will be continuing the business going forward.
