Unfortunately, legal action may sometimes be necessary to protect your interest and investments. Common partnership disputes among partners include: (a) failure to honor fiduciary duties, (b) failure to satisfy contractual obligations as specified in the partnership or operating agreement, (c) secret business dealings that are contrary to the company’s best interests, (d) and many other disruptive scenarios.
Shareholder disputes often arise for a number of typical reasons including: (a) a desire by shareholder(s) to terminate the shareholder relationship, (b) disagreement with the actions of the majority shareholders, (c) claims by a minority shareholder that actions of the controlling shareholders are illegal, oppressive or fraudulent.
