Anyone who has served as an officer or director of a corporation or who has been a partner in a partnership, knows that disputes between the principles of a company or partnership are all too frequent. Officers, directors and partners often have legally enforceable obligations of due care, loyalty and honesty to the company, shareholders, partners and to each other. When these fiduciary duties are breached, litigation often follows. R&P lawyers prosecute or defend such claims on behalf of officers, directors and partners in disputes arising in diverse business settings. Firm attorneys have successfully handled litigation involving disputes over control of corporations, minority shareholder claims, corporate mismanagement, dissipation of assets and corporate and partnership dissolutions. This area of the law is particularly intriguing because of the range of options available to the parties. Our lawyers work hand-in-hand with the client to devise and execute a strategy that best fits the particular circumstances of the case. We have secured successful results for numerous clients, either through trial or settlement. In addition, we are often consulted when potential corporate or partnership disputes appear on the horizon.
