Common Legal Grounds On Partnership And Shareholder Disputes

Understanding the root causes of shareholder and partnership disputes can help business owners proactively address conflicts before they escalate. Some of the most common legal grounds include:

• Breach of contract: Disagreements arising from alleged violations of partnership or shareholder agreements, such as failures to fulfill agreed-upon responsibilities or breaches of non-compete clauses.
• Breach of fiduciary duty: Claims that a partner or shareholder failed to act in the business’s best interests, often involving mismanagement or self-dealing.
• Ownership disputes: Conflicts can happen over equity distribution, decision-making authority or business control, especially during mergers, acquisitions or succession planning.
• Business fraud: Accusations of deceptive practices that undermine trust or result in financial harm.
• Tortious interference: Allegations that an outside party unlawfully interfered with contractual relationships or business opportunities.
