The Watkins Firm’s experienced shareholder dispute lawyers resolve San Diego business disputes quickly and in a cost-efficient manner while accomplishing our client’s goals and objectives. While there are far too many reasons for a San Diego shareholder dispute we can tell you the most common issue is money.
Resolving a Shareholder Dispute
Resolving a shareholder dispute quickly and efficiently is often our client’s goal. They do not have to become drawn out lawsuits that consume valuable personal and corporate resources while distracting all parties from the principle tasks of profitably running a business. The experienced shareholder dispute attorneys at the Watkins Firm have more than four decades of experience in business litigation and shareholder lawsuits and disputes. We take a unique approach to dispute resolution that is designed to accomplish our client’s goals and objectives in the dispute while accomplishing an effective resolution in a timely and efficient manner.
How is this accomplished? The short answer is constructive leveraged negotiation by skilled and experienced attorneys at the Watkins Firm. In fact, the experienced shareholder dispute lawyers at the Watkins Firm are able to resolve the vast majority of our business litigation and shareholder disputes through effective, leveraged negotiation. Our attorneys work to quickly and accurately construct a powerful and accurate chronology of events and assess the financial damages associated with the shareholder dispute and use these as leverage to gain the attention of the other party and open constructive negotiations.
Mediation and Arbitration
Our work in resolving shareholder disputes quickly and efficiently is based upon our ability to find common ground, and to gain an understanding of the other position. When parties are entrenched, or when an issue is based upon strongly held principal business mediation is often a cost-effective and timely solution. We represent you in every aspect of the dispute until it is resolved. In mediation we are able to help select an experienced, effective mediator and advise our clients as we work through the confidential, private process of mediation.
Many business contracts, LLC operating agreements and shareholder agreements specify business arbitration as an alternative to the expense of a trial. Arbitration is specifically structured to place the facts before an experienced arbiter who conducts an efficient process to reach a final resolution of the matter. The ruling of the arbiter in binding arbitration is final and can only be appealed in very rare instances involving fraud or collusion. You only get one shot at it in arbitration and that is why it is so important to have the experienced shareholder dispute lawyers of the Watkins Firm on your side of the equation.
Our experience at trial and our substantial track record of success over the decades establishes our credibility in the process and communicates the seriousness of your resolve to the other party and opposing counsel. They know you mean business, and that we are prepared to take your case all the way to a successful verdict if necessary. It is this very fact that provides additional leverage earlier in the negotiations and mediation to help with resolving shareholder disputes more reasonably and promptly.
