In the business context, disputes can arise in various circumstances, including conflicts between business partners, officers, or shareholders, as well as conflicts that arise after new owners or investors purchase the assets of a business. Business disputes can occur in businesses of any size, from Fortune 500 companies to tight-knit, family-owned operations. Conflict often begins small and escalates when appropriate action is not taken. Seeking the advice of an experienced attorney can often de-escalate a conflict before it detrimentally affects the business. Whether you own your own business, are in business with several other people, or are simply an investor in a business, Boatman Ricci can help you navigate and resolve disputes quickly and effectively, ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.
Types of Business Disputes
Business disputes come in many forms, each presenting unique challenges. At Boatman Ricci, we have experience handling a wide range of issues that can arise during the course of business operations. Some of the most common disputes include:
- Contract Disputes: When one party fails to fulfill the terms of a contract, it can lead to serious financial and operational consequences.
- Partnership Disagreements: Disputes between business partners can arise over management, profits, or the direction of the company.
- Shareholder Disputes: These conflicts often involve the rights and obligations of shareholders, and can severely impact business decisions.
- Business “Divorces”: When business partners decide to go their separate ways, disputes over assets, liabilities, and future operations can arise, requiring legal intervention.
- Employment Conflicts: Issues such as wrongful termination, violations of non-compete agreements, or other claims can disrupt your workplace.
We’re prepared to handle these and other disputes, helping you protect your business and resolve conflicts efficiently.
