Solving San Diego partnership disputes involves a negotiated settlement in the vast majority of our cases locally. What are the most effective steps to resolving any business-related dispute?
Our Unique Approach to Business disputes
What is the Watkins Firm unique approach to business disputes and lawsuits here in San Diego? Partnership disputes are a form of business litigation, but few of these cases actually reach a trial court. However it is important to work with attorneys who have the experience and a reputation for success in courtroom verdicts so that the other party and opposing counsel understand your resolve and the strength of your position. Our clients appreciate the unique approach to litigation that the Watkins Firm employs to ensure that your partnership dispute is resolved quickly, effectively and economically.
We begin by constructing a thorough and well-documented chronology of events as well as a mastery of the associated damages. This provides the leverage needed to open negotiations and seek a fair negotiated settlement that accomplishes our client’s goals and objectives. This is the fastest and least expensive path to resolve a business dispute. The Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our cases through negotiation.
Solving San Diego Partnership Disputes Requires Legal Skill and Commitment to Finding a Solution
Solving San Diego partnership disputes requires a commitment to accomplish our client’s goals while finding the best solution for the challenges at hand. Partnership disputes can arise for a variety of reasons, but the most common issues are contribution to the company and the distribution of profits.
Each partner in an LLC has expectations of his fellow business owners, and each has a valuable role to play in the success of the company. What happens when one of the partners isn’t holding up their fair share of the workload? These disputes are usually addressed in the partnership’s operating agreement, and there should be specific language which provides specific remedies for solving San Diego partnership disputes. Another important ingredient is the process to value of the partnership interests at stake.
Unfortunately, many operating agreements are downloaded forms, or copied from the internet, and do not adequately address or resolve disputes that arise between business partners. The first step in these cases is negotiation. Our attorneys will work to protect your interests while negotiating a solution based upon the goals and objectives you have established. In some cases it may be necessary (or stipulated by contract) for the case to proceed to business mediation or arbitration. The Watkins Firm is prepared to represent you at each stage of the dispute.
In the end, solving San Diego partnership disputes comes down to leverage, communication and effective negotiation skills. When necessary, business mediation or arbitration are productive alternatives to trial.
