Shareholder & Partnership Disputes

Co-ownership fights are corporate divorces — personal, financial, and existential for the company. Whether you're the majority owner dealing with an obstructive partner or the minority owner being frozen out, the sooner strategy replaces emotion, the more of the company's value survives.

The disputes we see most

• Freeze-outs and squeeze-outs: distributions withheld, salaries cut, information denied — pressure tactics against minority owners.
• Deadlock: 50/50 owners who can no longer agree, paralyzing the company.
• Diverted opportunities and self-dealing: an owner running personal expenses through the company or steering business to a side entity.
• Books-and-records fights: Florida law gives owners inspection rights; refusing them is often the first provable wrong.
• Capital and contribution disputes: who put in what, who owes what, and what the operating agreement actually says.

Remedies and exits

Direct and derivative claims, accounting actions, injunctions, judicial dissolution, and — most often — a negotiated buyout at a defensible valuation. Because of the firm's financial background, valuation isn't outsourced thinking here; it's the center of the strategy.
