Who We Are and What We Stand For

Frequently Asked Questions
-
There are a host of remedies that are potentially available in the event of a breach of contract scenario. The remedy that may be best suited for the situation – which could possibly involve a specific performance order – will be dependent upon the unique circumstances in question. Once our team is alerted to a breach of contract concern, we can evaluate the ins and outs of that concern in order to better determine how to move forward in ways that are most likely to facilitate our client’s short-term and broader best interests.
-
Most of the time, a solid response to intellectual property infringement begins with serving the offender with a cease-and-desist letter. If they honor that request, no need for further action is generally warranted unless it’s appropriate to seek damages immediately. If the terms of the cease-and desist letter are ignored, it may benefit a company’s interests if we negotiate with the offender on the company’s behalf and/or file a lawsuit to seek additional remedies. Each case is unique and requires a thoughtful and strategic analysis and ultimate approach.
-
Depending on the nature of a company’s wrongdoing, shareholders with an interest in a particular business operation can potentially hold management liable for individual and/or broader corporate wrongdoing. Depending on the nature of the concern in question, shareholders can potentially file regulatory complaints, propose shareholder resolutions, and even initiate litigation aimed at securing damages. As corporations and their top management officials tend to have access to significant resources, it’s important to engage the services of learned legal counsel before taking on corporate interests. Strategic approaches and careful timing can better ensure a favorable outcome.
-
Depending on an aspiring business owner’s vision for their new company – or an existing business owner’s vision for evolving their current operations – forming a business partnership can be an advantageous course of action. Depending on the structure of a particular partnership, co-owners can share operational responsibilities, the burden of financial obligations, and risk. Additionally, they can benefit from each other’s diverse skill sets, sphere of influence, and networking potential. Business partnerships can result in more efficient, effective operations that allow each owner to maintain a greater work-life balance as well. Our team can help business owners interested in crafting a partnership to explore their options in ways that safeguard their interests.
-
It is generally possible to dissolve a partnership successfully in the wake of learning that one’s partner has engaged in wrongdoing. Certainly, it is generally a good idea to seek legal guidance in order to evaluate the wrongdoing in question and better determine whether dissolution of the partnership is the only viable way forward before committing to this plan of action. However, if dissolution is the best way forward, our team can help a wronged partner to achieve this aim. While most partnership dissolution scenarios need to play out according to any terms agreed to in a legally-enforceable partnership agreement, there are times when an individual’s wrongdoing may nullify certain rights in this regard.
