An Overview Of Shareholder And Partnership Disputes
A shareholder dispute happens when you and other shareholders disagree over how the business runs, how profits are divided or who owns what. These issues often start when one shareholder believes another has broken a shareholder agreement or acted against the interests of the business.
A partnership dispute involves disagreements between people in a general or limited partnership. Georgia and Tennessee laws give each general partner the right to manage the business and share in profits; limited partners typically cannot help run the business. These issues often happen when partner rights conflict or when a partner acts without proper authority or when the partnership agreement does not cover an important issue.
What Causes Shareholder And Partnership Disputes?
Shareholder and partnership disputes can develop for many reasons. Some of the most common causes our attorney handles include:
- Breach of fiduciary duty: A partner or shareholder puts their own interests ahead of the business or its other owners.
- Management deadlock: Co-owners cannot agree on an important business decision, and operations come to a standstill.
- Misconduct and fraud: A co-owner misrepresents financial information or takes actions that harm the company.
- Financial disagreements: Conflicts over profit distributions, compensation or company funds lead to legal disputes.
- Improper dissolution: A party tries to close the business without proper authority or notice to the other owners.
