Business Litigation
When the interests of owners diverge, Milman Labuda’s Commercial & Business Litigation
Practice Group offers sage counsel to business owners for an exit strategy. This may involve
interpreting corporate by-laws, shareholder agreements, LLC operating agreements and
partnership agreements, or if the business cannot properly operate or is deadlocked, we may
recommend pursuing dissolution.
In closely held entities, owners are often actively involved in running the business and sharing in
its success. Sometimes, minority owners are shut out of the business or are treated unfairly.
We counsel minority shareholders and members of closely held entities when their interests are
being compromised by fraudulent, illegal or oppressive actions by those in control of the
company, or when the assets are being looted, wasted or diverted by those in control of the
company.
We not only litigate these cases, we also work with our Real Estate & Corporate Transactions
Practice Group to employ strategies to deal with the potential for breakups before such an event
occurs, such as through buyout agreement and options on certain triggering events.
