A disagreement among the owners of a business can effectively put a business on hold. If the shareholders disagree with the board or management, or if the partners disagree with each other, the matter needs to be resolved. Common claims include:
Tortious interference: If one of the partners is accused of interfering with the course of business, that may be a case of tortious interference. Talk to an attorney about the actions and circumstances.
Breach of fiduciary duty: Managers have a responsibility to the shareholders and partners have a responsibility to each other. Mismanaging a business, causing the owners to lose money or the business to lose value may be a breach of fiduciary duty. Talk to an experienced business attorney about your options.
The attorneys at Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton know, understand and appreciate what it takes to run a business.
