Partnership Disputes

Business partnerships can involve tricky dynamics and disagreements that culminate in stressful legal disputes. When you’ve worked hard to build a business together, a rift in the relationship can put a lot in jeopardy. Navigating partnership disputes often involves complex legal, financial, professional, emotional and personal dimensions.

That’s where I come in. I’m a skilled litigation attorney in the Los Angeles area with more than 15 years of experience helping clients navigate legal and business disputes. I understand the stressful nature of the challenges you may be facing, and I will work hard to protect your interests while pressing toward a favorable resolution.

Even the most solid of partnerships can run into roadblocks such as:

Disputes over the direction of the business
Disputes involving partner buy-outs
Misappropriation of partnership assets
Financial mismanagement
Conflicts of interest
Breach of fiduciary duty
Breach of contract
Breach of confidentiality
Theft of trade secrets

Whether you are pursuing legal action or defending against allegations of wrongdoing, you will need a solid ally. I can serve as your voice, advocate and advisor.

Civil litigation comes with a high cost, both economically and emotionally. Mediation is often a starting point for a resolution without the need for litigation. However, you don’t want to give up too much too soon. I can help you weigh your settlement options and negotiate a favorable outcome.

I can also represent you in arbitration. I’m very experienced in the nuances of arbitration proceedings in California.

Should litigation become necessary, you can count on my extensive experience as a trial attorney in both state and federal trial courts as well as appeals . My other area of focus – criminal law – contributes to my strength and skill in the courtroom. I’m no stranger to high-stakes legal proceedings, and I know how to effectively navigate them.
