Types of Partnership Disputes
Sometimes partnerships have been forged between friends who have mutually created a company. Due to their friendship, they forego the "formalities" of drawing up a contract that irons out the various areas of responsibility assigned to each, financial matters, company policies, and more. There can also be personality clashes that weren't necessarily apparent at the formation of the business but came to the surface later, resulting in too much friction to comfortably work together.
Another common scenario is where business partners do have a business agreement, but it is not comprehensive enough. Too many details were left out. These could include items such as clearly defining each partner's roles, how the finances would be handled, details of each partner's initial contribution to the business, what the procedure would be to bring on new partners, salaries, the manner of distributing profits, and much more.
It is quite often very beneficial to involve professional, skilled and effective legal assistance to bring about a practical and mutually agreed-upon resolution. Contact our Los Angeles firm as soon as possible to learn how we can help you. We have local offices in Southern and Northern California.
