Business owner disputes

An ownership stake in a closely held business often represents the thrift of an entire career.  When owners fall into conflict, they need lawyers who are adept in the specialized law that applies and experienced in the opportunities and pitfalls of this class of litigation.  Nothing substitutes for experience in addressing the many tactical issues presented, including whether to invoke Business Court jurisdiction and how to arrange and present compelling expert business valuation evidence.

We have litigated many such cases and helped owners to avoid litigating many others.
