Our firm is guided by a philosophy of repetitive excellence that we demonstrate through our intelligent strategies and relentless approach.

Partnership and Shareholder Disputes

When partners disagree over issues such as how a business should run or how profits should be divided, the business can come to a halt with no clear path forward. Our lawyers can mediate a dispute in a partnership, facilitating productive conversations and working to find solutions that will provide for the long-term health of the business. If no resolution can be reached in mediation, our lawyers can take the matter to court, providing strong representation on your behalf. We can also help with a business divorce that will allow partners to go their separate ways.

Breaches of Fiduciary Duty

A fiduciary is someone who handles certain affairs for the benefit of other parties, and they have an obligation to act in the best interests of the company. A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when that obligation is betrayed through negligence or deliberate sabotage. This can take many forms, such as self-dealing, which occurs when a fiduciary prioritizes his or her own financial gain over the business. Our attorneys can collect evidence proving that there was a violation of fiduciary duty. We can take these issues to court, pursuing a fair remedy to recover income that was lost or other harm done.

Fraud

In broad terms, business fraud refers to dishonest tactics employed by a person or company for financial gain, such as the embezzlement of funds or contracts with deceptive or misleading wording. If you have been defrauded by another business, an employee, or another party, we can take action on your behalf in court, preserving physical proof of the fraud and fighting for a resolution that compensates you for any harm done. If your business has been accused of fraud, our lawyers can help you defend against these charges, protecting your rights during litigation.

Contract Violations

Businesses may use contracts to protect their rights and interests, such as having employees sign non-disclosure agreements or non-compete agreements. A non-compete agreement usually stipulates that a current or former employee cannot work directly with a rival or start a rival business, but these restrictions may only apply for a reasonable duration and/or within a certain geographic area. A non-disclosure agreement may be used to protect trade secrets or confidential information that could harm a business if it is revealed.

A business litigation attorney at our firm can help you take legal action to address a violation of a contract. We are prepared to take a breach of an NDA, non-compete agreement, or other type of contract to court, supplying evidence of the violation and arguing that you should be compensated for your damages. We can also help pursue injunctions and temporary restraining orders to stop activities that violate a contract or require the offending parties to take specific actions.
