Experienced Business Law Attorneys in Wisconsin

Business disputes between partners, shareholders, members, or between owners and officers can occur for a variety of reasons, from the simple to the complex—but any business dispute has the potential to significantly impact the business and any minority owners or shareholders of the business. A significant number of shareholder or partnership disputes involve family businesses and disagreements among family members. These types of family business disputes often involve issues unique to families.

These business disputes include cases such as:

• Breach of contract
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Corporate liquidation
• Minority shareholder oppression
• Business dissolution
• Diversion of assets

Our business lawyers will thoroughly investigate the situation to determine what happened and the best way to help our client resolve legal issues. We will look at articles of incorporation, business bylaws, buy-and-sell agreements, statutes and other important documents to determine if businesses have violated their own rules. We may also try to extract our client from a poor business situation by achieving an equitable buyout. Fast action is often the key to successful resolution.

In business disputes, it is usually favorable for all parties involved to reach a settlement agreement instead of moving forward into litigation. When litigation is necessary, however, we are prepared to aggressively defend our clients’ rights.
