Business Partnership Disputes
Business Partnership Gone Messy? We Can Help.
Just like starting a business is a lot like getting married, ending a partnership can be as messy as a divorce. That’s why here at Thomas Law, we’re highly specialized and experienced in helping you deescalate tension, regain common ground, and exit a partnership with as little financial loss and stress as possible.
How We Help
In our experience, partnership disputes are usually centered around the role that each partner plays within the business or the manner in which the partners are treating each other in the operation of the business.
And sometimes, this leads to an unsustainable situation that you’ve decided to exit.
Whether you want to:
- Sell your interest in the business
- Buy your partner’s interest and become a sole proprietor
- Dissolve the business entirely
- Rework the operating and partnership agreements

I worked with this firm on two cases running at the same time, and they exceeded every expectation. We won both cases thanks to their professionalism, responsiveness, and exceptional preparation.
In court they were sharp, adaptive, and confident, and their research and knowledge clearly showed. The firm also has a very strong, efficient, and well-organized team that works seamlessly together, which made the entire process smooth and helped ease the pressure during the most demanding moments.
They’ve also supported me with valuable business guidance, helping me start and grow my company. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated attorneys.
