Business partnerships are not unlike marriages in that disputes often arise when trust is broken, goals begin to diverge, or one member seeks to leave the partnership altogether. When your professional reputation and economic livelihood are at stake, resolving partner disputes quickly and effectively is essential.
Regardless of the size and scope of your business venture, if you have a partner, you are likely to experience conflict at some point.
Partner disputes often involve:
Despite the many sources of conflict that can develop with any type of business, most partner disputes can be traced back to ineffective or poorly written partnership agreements. Whether verbal or written, these contracts created when the partnership was formed may not be stable enough to protect partners when something goes wrong.
Building a business is equally exciting and challenging. While you and your partner may be thinking big, it is essential that you draft a solid, well-defined partnership agreement that will protect both parties and your interests should you disagree down the road. Even if partners are friends, siblings, or even spouses, disagreements about each partner’s responsibilities can wreak havoc on a company. Similar to how a pre-nuptial agreement protects spouses in the event of divorce, your partnership agreement exists to protect partners and their business during times of conflict or separation.

Your partnership agreement addresses the unique obligations and goals of your business partnership, including:
For some partners, there is no realistic way to continue working together. In that case, the best option may be to dissolve the partnership. Some partners chose to leave voluntarily. In other cases, one partner takes legal action to end the business relationship. Both are complex financial and legal processes that require an attorney’s assistance.
Unfortunately, like with so many of life’s undertakings, it is wise to expect the best and prepare for the worst. Because partnership agreements cover so many important aspects of your business and need to be comprehensive to be effective, you should always enlist the experience and guidance of trusted legal counsel.

In my 35 plus years of business experience, I have never met more knowledgeable, responsive professionals. My cases were settled in record time with extremely satisfactory results. All legal advise I received was spot on and very proactive. Could not be more happy w/ the services and advise received.
I am so impressed with Atty Terry Bailey. I needed a 2nd opinion on inverse condemnation case. He was knowledgeable, experienced and just as important, very human in dealing with my dilemma. He took the time to listen and understand the issues relating to my property damage caused by county negligence and never rushed me or interrupted me. He listened carefully and understood, it was very clear how experienced he is. I highly recommend Mr. Bailey.
Yes, they did a great job at handling the home insurance case. Knowledgeable, smart and diligent. Always on top of things. Great communication. But they were more than that. Great advisers to us as well. And not full of empty promises, but with real understanding of what is possible and what is not. Nice to have someone who does not over promise, just over delivers.
