When to Hire a Business Divorce Lawyer?

There are several signs that a business divorce is forthcoming. Depending on the type of business structure, disputes may be easy or very complicated to resolve. Below are a few warning signs that your business could be headed to a business divorce:

  • If the business was created under the agreement that all partners would have balanced duties in order to successfully operate, but there is a general consensus that one (or more) of the partners is not doing his or her fair share of the work;
  • If the partners have different approaches or conflicting work styles creating dissension; and
  • If serious disagreements about the fundamental characteristics of the business are occurring.

If you are seeing any warning signs that your business partners are in conflict that could lead to going separate ways, contact a business divorce lawyer as soon as possible. Having an attorney involved can increase the chances of a smoother separation of the partners and avoid costly litigation.

Once the decision has been made that business partners are going to go their separate ways, the goal should be to accomplish the business divorce as quickly and as reasonably possible for all parties involved. The experienced and knowledgeable attorneys at The Crone Law Firm can assist with the following issues often involved in a business divorce:
