Expert information to help you understand your rights and options

Partnership dissolution terminates the partnership and triggers winding up—collecting assets, paying debts, and distributing proceeds. Dissolution can be voluntary or forced by court. Learn dissolution procedures, partner rights during wind-up, and final accounting requirements.
Business divorce resembles marital divorce—dividing assets, unwinding relationships, and determining custody of the business itself. Emotions run high and legal procedures are complex. Learn business divorce options, protecting your interests, and achieving separation with minimum damage.
Partners owe each other fiduciary duties of loyalty and care. Breaches include self-dealing, competing with the partnership, and misappropriating opportunities. Learn fiduciary duty standards, proving breach, available remedies, and when fiduciary claims are appropriate.
Buyout disputes typically center on business valuation, payment terms, and non-compete obligations. Partnership agreements may provide procedures—or may be silent. Learn buyout mechanisms, valuation approaches, negotiation strategies, and litigation options when negotiations fail.
