Business Divorce
When a closely held company encounters a deadlock among its shareholders, careful strategy and negotiation are necessary to engineer a resolution that keeps the company operating and offers the shareholders an exit plan. Often a buyout, and sometimes dissolution, is necessary. The business attorneys of Dalton & Tomich, PLC are experienced in working with leaders of businesses from small enterprises to middle market businesses in attaining a mutually agreeable resolution to the parties’ discord.
Key factors to consider in business divorce include:
- whether the company’s original documents provide guidance as to how the dispute should be handled
- the initial investment of the shareholders and valuation of the company
- is there a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement at issue?
We can help you meet your goals.
