Founder & Partner Disputes

Any business with multiple owners must sometimes contend with the divergence of personal interests and differences in the direction and governance of the company. Blending business insight with proven employment law and litigation experience, we help C-level executives, co-founders, and sophisticated investors protect enterprise value, resolve high-stakes conflicts, and preserve relationships.

Entrepreneurs ourselves, we have a deep appreciation of the challenges faced by enterprise leaders. Combining our experience as business advisors with our extraordinary employment law knowledge and commercial litigation track record, we represent stakeholders in high-value business divorces, founder disagreements, and valuation disputes.

Through negotiation, litigation, arbitration, and mediation, we achieve successful outcomes handling a variety of often intractable issues. From equity structure differences and conflicts over employment and partnership agreement terms to fiduciary duty obligations and existential threats to corporate value, we help partners, officers, boards, investors, and companies resolve their most contentious and consequential matters.

We are proud of our distinguished history serving a diverse client base, which includes startup ventures, technology companies and investment firms (e.g. hedge funds, private equity firms, and other investment partnerships), real estate partnerships, and medical partnerships, among myriad others.

“...smart, practical and business minded.”
