Frequently asked questions
My business partner is cutting me out. What are my options?
Depending on your operating or shareholder agreement, you may have claims for breach of fiduciary duty, an accounting, judicial dissolution, or a forced buyout. We review the documents and move quickly to protect your interest.
How much does commercial litigation cost?
It depends on the complexity and how far the dispute goes. We discuss budgets and fee structures candidly at the outset and revisit them as the case develops.
Can disputes be resolved without trial?
Most are. But preparing as though trial is inevitable is what produces favorable settlements.
