How Partnership Disputes Arise
Our firm has handled numerous business law cases, including many that featured partnership disputes. In our extensive experience, we’ve seen these conflicts commonly arise from the following sources.
- Financial disagreements, such as disputes over profit distribution, capital contributions, expense reimbursements, compensation levels, personal use of business funds, and financial transparency
- Management and control issues stemming from disagreements about business direction, strategic decisions, daily operations, authority levels, hiring and firing decisions, and more
- Breaches of fiduciary duty, including self-dealing, misappropriation of opportunities, conflicts of interest, or unauthorized use of partnership assets
- Unequal contribution, which is when one partner feels they're contributing more time, effort, or resources while others aren't pulling their weight.
- Stalemates where partners cannot agree on critical decisions, paralyzing the business.
- Exit and buyout issues resulting from business valuation disagreements, unclear buyout terms, problems with payment structures, and more
How We Can Protect Your Partnership Interests
For Active Disputes
Our managing partner has argued cases before California’s Superior Courts and Circuit Courts of Appeal, among others. His insights inform everything we do on behalf of clients in partnership disputes, allowing us to knowledgably pursue or defend against litigation, negotiate settlements, or appeal a court’s decision.
Aside from delivering experienced advocacy, we’re your go-to for modern legal solutions. We use various innovative systems and platforms to quickly and precisely handle essential tasks, such as:
- Reviewing complex transactions, tracing funds, and identifying discrepancies in partner accounting
- Organizing years of emails, financial records, and other documents
- Visualizing data to compellingly present your position before judges, mediators, and opposing counsel
With Gietzen, you get the robust, technology-enhanced services that can help you navigate even the most complex and high-stakes disputes.
Preventive Measures
To help you avoid partnership disputes, we can draft comprehensive partnership agreements with clear profit distribution formulas, management authority definitions, conflict resolution mechanisms, and buyout provisions.
