Theft disputes between members of an LLC in San Diego and Southern California can be quite legally complex. There are several issues to work through, and our client’s goals determine the course of our actions.
The first thing to know about theft and business partners is you should never accuse a business associate or fellow member in an LLC of theft unless you have ironclad proof. The attorneys at the Watkins Firm have decades of experience and expertise in these matters, and can advise you regarding accounting strategies, as well as the business documents and records required to obtain necessary proof. Our clients appreciate our unique approach to business litigation, and the strategies we employ to resolve disputes quickly and cost-effectively.
How important is it to preserve the relationship with the partner while resolving theft disputes between members of an LLC? It might be a fellow family member, or another form of relationship that requires a well conceived strategy. Are we looking for restitution? How will this affect ownership of the LLC and control over issues such as the money and important decisions relating to the direction of the company? Do the activities warrant criminal charges?
Leveraged negotiation is a very effective strategy in these cases. Our legal team helps you to develop the documentation and evidence required to put a stop to theft, and to confront the participants. This evidence is the leverage required to negotiate a resolution that meets our client’s objectives. Are you simply looking for restitution and safeguards to prevent theft or misuse of corporate funds or assets in the future? In many situations we are negotiating the exit of the suspected partner, and many clients prefer that the matter be handled “in house.”
Theft disputes between members of an LLC can be quite emotional, and distract the participants from the central focus and task of running the company. If you suspect a business partner of theft or misuse of company funds or assets we invite you to review the strong recommendations of our clients and contact the Watkins Firm or call 858-535-1511 for a complimentary consultation today.
We will work with you to develop and implement the appropriate strategy to protect your company and assets, and resolve the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
