Business Partnership Disputes
Business Divorces
At Thomas Law, we know that starting a business with someone is a little like getting married. And just like some marriages end in divorce, some business partnerships can go awry. We have successfully resolved business disputes for our clients across many industries including:
- Medical and dental practices
- Law firms
- Accounting and financial planning firms
- Recruiting firms
- Private schools and tutoring companies
- Car dealerships
- Assisted living facilities
- IT companies
- Restaurants
- Beauty industry companies
- Construction companies
- Product suppliers and distributors
Family-run or small businesses
We know that owning a family-run or small business can complicate matters. We find that partnership disputes usually are 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. Our attorneys can help assist you with valuing, and then buying or selling an interest in your business, or if you are unsure what the next step is we can help you unpack the future path of your company. We can also help you address wrongdoing by your business partner though court, mediation, or outside of court negotiations.
We have a specialized legal team that will be supporting you through the entire process so that you can focus on your business and put the past behind you.
We provide full-scale services that include:
- Review and analysis of operating agreements, shareholder agreements, or other contracts related to the business operation and partners’ responsibilities
- Mediation or settlement services
- Litigation of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion (civil theft), tortious interference with contract, defamation, malicious prosecution, and trademark or copyright infringement claims
- Valuation framework
- Buy/sell agreement drafting and negotiation

I have been practicing law for over 40 years. I needed assistance for a client with a complex and unusual contract need. Ms. Thomas immediately understood the nature of the transaction and my concerns. She was very receptive to information from my client and me. For a reasonable fee, she prepared a new contract that met every legal issue. Drafting contracts that are intelligible to non-lawyers is a talent and an art form. Ms. Thomas was professional, efficient, and every effective. I highly recommend her and her office.

Ms. Thomas was very knowledgeable and willing to help me out with my small business partnership issues that I have encountered due to COVID and a bad partner unfortunately that have put me in a difficult position. But Ms Thomas was very detailed and her calming voice made it less stressful and pleasant. Being under so much stress and everything seems to be a dead end talking to her was very pleasant. She is very detailed and punctual or responsive to any questions or emails I may have sent her. I will definitely continue to use Thomas law services in the future.

Margeaux is very sharp, and incredibly responsive. She seemed genuinely interested in seeing our problem resolved in a favorable manner to our family with as little financial or emotional cost to us as possible. She is realistic about outcomes but also results oriented. She helped us settle our case to a favorable conclusion. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.

After consulting several different lawyers, we found The Thomas Law Office very reasonable and professional.
From the beginning Margeaux and her staff helped us very well. She quickly respond the emails and phone calls. She has the best knowledge in her area. She is focusing to solve the case in an honest tone. She doesn’t over charge. There are some other attorneys out there who needs to be trained by her. We are really happy we choose Thomas Law Office.
