Corporate Formation; Partnership Agreements; Shareholder Agreements; Preliminary Injunctions
One of the largest areas of our practice is the handling of disputes between shareholders, partners, corporate officers, or members of an LLC.
The meaning of shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, LLC operating agreements and securities offerings, the fiduciary duties of corporate officers, LLC managers, or partners and the scope of the Limited Liability Company Act, the Business Corporation Act or analogous statutes are often all intertwined.
We have helped a lot of entrepreneurs start their business by forming a corporation or limited liability company. Shareholders of close corporations and partners in a partnership require written agreements that we can draft. In the event a dispute erupts between partners or shareholders, we can help negotiate a solution or file or defend against a lawsuit.
In a crisis, some of our clients have required us to seek or defend against preliminary injunction actions, which seek specific orders designed to preserve the status quo (for example, to prevent an officer from absconding with the money, the improper disclosure of trade secrets, or the raiding of clients of employees or the lockout of an officer) while a dispute is being resolved.
We have experience with:
- Shareholder agreements
- Partnership and Limited Partnership agreements
- Limited Partnerships
