Being in a business partnership is very much like being in a long term relationship.  Unfortunately, it is also true that if things don’t work out that

partnership or director disputes can be every bit as costly, stressful and time-consuming as an acrimonious divorce.

Seeking early specialist advice and placing together a  measured strategy is normally the key to obtaining the most favourable outcome.  Our business dispute solicitors have extensive experience in providing composed legal advice to partners, directors and shareholders and representing them in negotiations and/or legal proceedings.
