Partnership Disputes
We often are called upon to assist people who have been financially abused by their business partners. When partners disagree, we will look for solutions and, when necessary, litigate the matter in court. Are you being accused or sued over a partnership agreement? If so, we can assist in representing you at the courthouse. Likewise, if you have been damaged by breaches of a partnership agreement by your partner, we can advise and, if necessary, seek damages for such wrongful conduct. Partnership disputes can involve the following issues:
- Breach of fiduciary duty claims.
- Breach of contract claims.
- Covenants not com compete
- Fraud Claims.
- A duty of competence;
- A duty to exercise reasonable discretion;
- A duty of loyalty; and
- A duty of full disclosure.
In the business context, a partner owes his partners a strict duty of good faith, candor and there is a general prohibition against him using the relationship to benefit his personal interests except with full disclosure to the others. If you feel that your company (or you) has been the victim of breaches of fiduciary duty by a board member, partner or corporate officer, call us today to discuss how we can remedy such a breach.
If you feel you have been taken advantage of by your partner, contact one of the business litigation attorneys at the law firm of former Harris County Attorney Michael P. Fleming.
