New York Attorneys for Business Dissolution and Shareholder Disputes
When a shareholder dispute arises, the future of a business hangs in the balance. The result may be a dissolution of a partnership, the closing of the business, the selling or division of real estate holdings, or the purchase by one partner of the other partner's interest. People involved in business disputes that can lead to resolutions such as these require the advice and counsel of an experienced commercial litigation attorney
At the law offices of Sweeney, Gallo, Reich and Bolz, in Queens, we protect the rights of businesses and individual shareholders involved in shareholder disputes. Our lawyers protect the rights of our clients, achieving effective resolutions to a wide range of business disputes.
Business disputes can arise from a wide variety of situations; a few examples are listed here:
- Desire of one partner to retire, leading to a dispute over that partner's share of the business
- Death of one partner, with heirs wishing to cash out the deceased's share of the business
- Fraud, bad faith or breach of fiduciary duty by one partner or shareholder
- Breach of contract by one partner or shareholder
- Inability of shareholders or partners to agree on the direction of the business
- Disputes over business succession plans
- Minority shareholders' concerns about their role in the business
- Disputes over responding to external threats, such as poor business conditions or lawsuits
With over two decades of trial experience, our lawyers are prepared to handle the complexities of shareholder dissolution and partnership disputes. Providing either plaintiff's or defense counsel, our primary goal is to protect the rights and interests of our clients, whether we are representing businesses or individual shareholders. Whatever the issue that leads to a business or shareholder dispute, we will be aggressive advocates on behalf of our client.
If a business owns real estate and the partners or shareholders cannot agree on the division of those holdings, it may be necessary to pursue a partition action. We have extensive experience in such matters and are known for our ability to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
