Partnership & Business Disputes<\/h2>\n

Partnerships are a common business vehicle. Many small businesses take the form of partnerships as they are more flexible and easier to manage than other types of company.<\/h5>\n

Disputes between business partners, co-directors, or shareholders can threaten the whole operation. Common issues include:<\/p>\n

Breaches of partnership agreements or shareholders’ agreements
\nUnequal profit sharing, decision-making deadlocks, or exclusion from management
\nMisuse of company funds, competing businesses, or failure to contribute properly
\nWinding up the business or buying out a partner’s share.<\/p>\n

The law depends on:<\/p>\n

The partnership agreement (if one exists \u2014 partnerships without agreements fall under the Partnership Act 1890)
\nCompany articles, shareholders’ agreements, or Companies Act 2006 rules for limited companies
\nDuties of good faith, avoiding conflicts of interest<\/p>\n

Resolution options:<\/p>\n

Negotiation or mediation to preserve relationships and the business
\nUnfair prejudice petitions (for company shareholders feeling mistreated)
\nDissolution of partnership or winding up petitions
\nClaims for breach of contract or fiduciary duty.<\/p>\n

These cases can get emotional and complex quickly. We advise on your rights, review agreements, help draft exit terms, or pursue court remedies like buy-outs or injunctions to stop damaging actions. Our aim is practical solutions that protect your interests and, where possible, keep the business going.Court Proceedings Information<\/a>
