What are the best strategies to resolve a shareholder dispute in San Diego and Southern California? Are you concerned about protecting your investment in a San Diego business?

Shareholder Disputes
Shareholder disputes are costly to investors and businesses alike, both in terms of lost opportunity as well as the time and expense of resolving the disputes. Many potential business disputes between shareholders, investors or owners can be avoided through well crafted corporate documents. The “operating agreement” in an LLC, and the “shareholder’s agreement” in a corporation should anticipate most or all of the potential conflicts that can arise downstream to prevent costly disputes among the owners.
Many business professionals think the cost and time to resolve a shareholder dispute in San Diego and Southern California is prohibitive. This is simply not the case. Shareholders have rights. California and federal commercial laws protect your rights and provide specific (and in some cases, immediate) relief. It doesn’t cost anything to have a substantive consultation with one of our experienced shareholder dispute resolution attorneys at the Watkins firm. We can help you to gain insight into whatever challenge you face and work with you to develop and implement a customized strategy for your unique circumstances.
The Principle Issue in Most Shareholder Disputes is Money
One might think a shareholder dispute is often due to poor business performance. While poor business performance can result in a shareholder dispute, many business lawsuits and internal disputes erupt over money and profit distribution, especially when times are good and the business is thriving.
Issues of control, performance of expected duties, company strategy, employee management and profit distribution often result in shareholder disputes. The key is to resolve a shareholder dispute in San Diego and Southern California early on, so that the underlying relationships and business profitability are preserved and the focus of the owners can be directed toward running the business, not distracting side issues.
