Business disputes may indicate a fundamental misunderstanding about a provision in a contract or agreement, or they may be indicative of larger, more systemic problems.
Corporate litigation often relates to a disagreement about a contract or agreement, including claims that the other party to a contract breached their duties as specified in that contract.
Another type of contract issue that frequently arises relates to disputes among business partners. In many ways, business partnerships are like marriages. While the partners usually enter into the business assuming things will always go well, issues can – and do – occur.
At Hamra Law Group, our attorneys help clients with breach of contract matters, whether a formal, written contract governed the relationship and transaction, or if a contract was merely implied by the parties’ actions. We also handle partnership disputes whether or not there was an underlying partnership agreement. When necessary, we also help handle partnership dissolutions, advising clients on winding down partnership business.
It’s not just corporations and partnerships that can bring litigation against others; shareholders have the right to initiate litigation too.
