You’ve spent years building a profitable business, but now a conflict with a current or former partner is jeopardizing your success.
At L&F Brown, we understand your unique needs. We’re not just attorneys – we’re business owners as well. We pride ourselves on providing creative yet cost-effective solutions, and we’re driven to deliver the most favorable results for you.
Whether the business is structured as an LLC, corporation or partnership, we protect partners and minority owners who were wrongfully ousted without their consent.
If a partner is stealing or misappropriating company funds, we can help you take aggressive legal action to quickly recover the money and remove the partner for cause.
Partners owe fiduciary duties to the company, and they can’t engage in self-dealing, hide conflicts of interest, or compete against the company without violating these duties.
If a partner has engaged in behavior that violates the Partnership Agreement (or the Operating Agreement for LLCs), our attorneys can help set things straight and give you options for pursuing the best remedies.
