Strategic Legal Guidance for Business Owners, Partners & Investors

Our legal team takes a strategic, chess-like approach to shareholder and partnership disputes. We don’t just react—we anticipate, analyze, and execute with precision, keeping you one step ahead.

Common Causes of Shareholder & Partnership Disputes

Business relationships often begin with shared visions, but they can falter due to:

• Breach of fiduciary duties

• Unequal profit distribution

• Mismanagement or self-dealing by partners

• Unauthorized business decisions

• Deadlocks between 50/50 partners

• Buyout disagreements or valuation conflicts

• Minority shareholder oppression

No matter the cause, unresolved disputes can cripple your company’s operations, tarnish your reputation, and drain your resources. That’s why early legal intervention is crucial.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I suspect a business partner is mismanaging funds?

Start by gathering documentation—bank records, emails, financial statements. Then consult with an attorney experienced in fiduciary breaches. ASK Law Firm can help you evaluate your legal options and act swiftly if financial harm is occurring.

Can a minority shareholder take legal action if they’re being excluded from decision-making?

Yes. In New Jersey, minority shareholders have protections under corporate laws. If you’re being oppressed, excluded, or denied your fair share, our team can assess if you have grounds for a shareholder oppression claim or a forced buyout.

What’s the difference between mediation and litigation in a shareholder dispute?

Mediation involves both parties voluntarily working with a neutral third-party to resolve the conflict. Litigation is handled in court and may involve more time and expense. We help clients explore all options to resolve disputes effectively and in their best interests.

How long do I have to act on a shareholder or partnership dispute?

New Jersey has specific statutes of limitation depending on the claim (breach of contract, fiduciary duty, fraud, etc.). Delaying action can weaken your position. It’s best to consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.

How do I choose the right law firm for a partnership dispute?

Look for a firm with a proven track record in business litigation, not just general law. ASK Law Firm’s strategic, results-driven approach ensures we not only understand the legal complexities—but the business stakes involved.
