Carney Badley Spellman’s corporate and partnership litigation attorneys in Seattle address legal disputes that may occur between shareholders, directors, officers, or other stakeholders involved in the management and operation of a corporation or partnership.
Corporate litigation often involves issues such as breach of fiduciary duty, shareholder oppression, shareholder derivative actions, disputes over mergers and acquisitions, or disputes over corporate governance. These cases may involve allegations of fraud, mismanagement, or other forms of misconduct by those in positions of authority.
Partnership litigation typically involves disputes between partners or members of a partnership. These disputes can arise from disagreements over the division of profits, decision-making authority, breach of partnership agreements, or allegations of misconduct by one or more partners.
Litigation in both corporate and partnership contexts can be complex and requires expertise in corporate law, contract law, and business practices. Laws governing corporate and partnership litigation can vary by jurisdiction, as different countries and states have their own legal frameworks and regulations. Â
In these types of litigation, the goal is typically to resolve the dispute through negotiation, mediation, or settlement. However, if a resolution cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial, where a judge or jury will make a final determination.Â
