Resolution of Business Ownership Disputes
It has been our experience that most business ownership disputes occur not when the business is struggling, but when the business is succeeding. A struggling business is in survival mode, but an expanding and growing business has other concerns. Are shareholders' rights being respected by the board of directors? Who is in charge? Who can decide the best manner for expansion? Who has the authority to hire or fire? And most importantly, how are the profits divided?
At Roger G. Jain & Associates, P.C., our attorneys have helped small business owners resolve their disputes successfully utilizing business litigation, mediation and other means. Our law firm has experience with the following types of business entities:
- Unincorporated sole proprietor or business partnership
- Limited Liability Company (LLC)
- Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC)
- S corporation
- C corporation
Buy Out ∙ Mediate ∙ Sell Out
When two parties have a business ownership dispute, there are a number of legal remedies. These remedies will vary depending upon the type of entity, how the entity was run, and what the original incorporating documents state. If the business is unincorporated, there are still a number of legal options to pursue.
Our law firm has been able to help resolve business ownership disputes through a number of legal means including:
- Negotiate or enforce a buy-sell agreement
- Mediate a business partnership incorporation process to retain ownership rights
- Obtain a restraining order to gain access to all record keeping and financial data
- Business litigation for seller's misrepresentation of accounts receivable/payable information
- Business litigation for buyer's mismanagement of an acquired business that reverts to the original owner for non-payment
In the end, our task as business law attorneys is to obtain an agreeable settlement or solution for our clients. We do not promise anything we cannot deliver. We understand that your business and its success are important to you, and we strive to obtain the business results you want.
