Dealing With Disputes Inside Your Business in Los Angeles
Disputes among partners and shareholders in a business usually occur several years after the operating agreement, partnership agreement or corporation bylaws have been signed. Divorce or remarriage, changing interests, allegations of fraud or disagreements over the direction of a business often lead to a reexamination of those documents. That is the point where our lawyers usually come in.
At the law firm of Mathew & George in Los Angeles, we represent business owners, partners and shareholders throughout Southern California. Many of our clients include members of professional groups such as doctors, dentists and pharmacists. We also represent clients in a wide range of businesses from software development to the textile, apparel and fashion industries. Our clients may have management companies in place, or take a hands-on role in managing their business.
The issues in these cases often involve whether a partner or shareholder can do something and what they might owe to another partner. Our lawyers handle breach of contract claims and derivative lawsuits.
Most people think of derivative lawsuits as a case where minority shareholders suing a giant corporation over how the corporation is run. However, the same laws that protect shareholders of large corporations are also available to shareholders and partners in small- to mid-sized companies. Most of our clients are closely held, established businesses. Most of our clients have fewer than 10 shareholders or partners, but some may have 40 or more.
