How an Orange County Partnership Disputes Attorney Helps Save Your Relationship with Your Partner

An Orange County partnership disputes attorney can help you to save your relationship with a business partner if you and your partner get into a disagreement. There are many situations in business where tough decisions have to be made or where company owners have to make choices that could affect the future of the business. If a company is owned as a partnership, the partners who share control could have different ideas about big and small choices while operating the company. In some cases, these conflicts can be good for a business by allowing for different ideas to be tried. In other circumstances, however, conflicts can become damaging and partnerships can fall apart. 

Brown & Charbonneau, LLP can help you to make sure that your partnership stays strong by advising you both when you form your partnership and when disagreements occur. We understand the different methods of resolving partnership disagreements and we can put our legal knowledge and experience to work when you and your partner have become embroiled in a conflict. Give us a call to find out more about the ways in which an Orange County partnership disputes attorney can help you to protect your important relationship with a business partner.

Protecting a Partnership by Avoiding Conflict

The best way to protect your partnership is to minimize the potential for serious conflict. Brown & Charbonneau, LLP can help you to create a partnership agreement that reduces the chances of a problem arising because you and your partner are not able to agree. A good partnership agreement should delegate responsibility, put a particular person in charge of particular areas so there is minimal overlap, and set forth procedures for resolving conflicts that do arise.

You can create a partnership agreement when you first start your business to make sure all partners involved in the company have a clear idea of what everyone’s roles are. However, if you do not yet have an agreement or if you are not sure if your agreement will sufficiently protect your company from falling apart over a partnership dispute, it is never too late to work with an experienced attorney to create a good contract.

How an Orange County Partnership Disputes Attorney Can Help Save Your Relationship if Conflicts Come Up

With or without a good partnership agreement, it is still inevitable that problems or conflicts can arise at some time during the process of running a business. If this happens, an Orange County partnership disputes attorney can help to save your partnership by facilitating a timely resolution of your disagreement that doesn’t jeopardize your ability to work together in the future.

The best way to effectively resolve a partnership dispute is to refer to your partnership agreement and other documents, such as employment agreements, which could dictate who has been delegated with decision-making authority over a particular issue. If you aren’t sure how to interpret your contract or who should make a decision, Brown & Charbonneau, LLP can help you to review your contractual agreements to find the answers.

If your disagreement cannot be resolved by referring to your partnership agreement, an Orange County partnership disputes attorney can help you to preserve your partnership by finding alternatives to litigation to resolve your disagreement. While there may be some limited cases, such as breach of fiduciary duty that could make your relationship unsalvageable, in most cases you can still work well together after a disagreement if you find compromise. Dispute resolution methods like mediation can allow you to work together, instead of against each other, to create a solution that is truly best for your company. Skilled mediators can facilitate discussions to resolve your disputes, while an experienced attorney with negotiating skills can make the mediation process easier.
