Closely-held businesses produce the most personal litigation in commercial law. Partners stop trusting each other. Founders disagree about direction. A majority owner decides the minority owners are inconvenient. Documents that everyone shook hands on years ago turn out to mean very different things to different people once money is on the line.
When a partner, co-founder, or majority owner squeezes you out of the business you helped build, I fight to recover what you are owed.
I represent founders, owners, executives, and minority interest holders in:
Shareholder oppression and minority owner squeeze-outs
Breach of fiduciary duty claims against officers, directors, and majority owners
Direct and derivative actions
Disputes over company control, valuation, and exit
Forced buyouts and dissolution proceedings
Disputes arising from operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and partnership agreements
LLC member disputes and managing member misconduct
