Resolving Shareholder Disputes
SBPS clients can rely on working with business law attorneys with experience in a wide variety of corporate and shareholder issues. SBPS represents minority shareholders and majority shareholders in shareholder rights litigation. For example, minority shareholders may complain of being forced out of the management of the business, the proportion of profits paid to principals, loss of stock options upon termination from the company, or decisions alleged to rise to the level of shareholder oppression. Controlling shareholders may face the allegations from those with whom they share ownership.
Resolution of Partnership Disputes
Business partners sometimes find themselves fundamentally unable to agree about how the business is run, how profits are to be divided, the addition of new partners, valuation of the business during a buyout or wind-down, succession, and other issues. When negotiation among partners has failed, the lawyers of SBPS can help resolve partnerships disputes through litigation.
SBPS's aggressive take charge approach and its knowledge of local customs and legal procedures throughout north and east Texas can be extremely effective at limiting the hassle and business impact of the proceedings. The firm advocates powerfully on behalf of client interests while recognizing the fundamental importance of preserving the company's existence, reputation and standing in the community if these and the client can all be protected. When necessary to protect clients, SBPS attorneys are experienced in the use of court-ordered receivers, retraining orders and derivative actions. These tools can help stop the wasting of a client's fair share of assets until a resolution can be arranged through the courts.
