Texas Partnership and Shareholder Disputes
When business owners or shareholders clash, the fallout can threaten the future of the company. At Guerra Days Law Group, we represent clients in resolving disputes between partners, members, and shareholders—whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. We help protect your interests while preserving business value.
Common Causes of Ownership Disputes
Partnership and shareholder conflicts often stem from disagreements over rights, responsibilities, profits, and control. Common issues include:
- Mismanagement or breach of fiduciary duty
- Unequal workload or compensation
- Diverging visions or business goals
- Unauthorized use of company assets
- Disagreements over major decisions or expansions
- Exit strategies or buyout terms
Understanding Fiduciary Duties
Business owners, officers, and directors owe fiduciary duties to each other and to the company. This includes duties of loyalty, care, and full disclosure. A breach of these duties can result in personal liability and legal consequences. Our attorneys help evaluate potential breaches and guide clients on enforcement or defense strategies.
Legal Options for Resolving Ownership Conflicts
We tailor our approach based on the company structure, the operating or shareholder agreement, and the goals of our client. Options may include:
- Negotiated buyouts
- Mediation or arbitration
- Derivative actions (on behalf of the company)
- Dissolution of the business
- Litigation for damages or injunctive relief
Protect Your Position Early
These disputes are highly sensitive—especially in closely held or family-run businesses. Early legal intervention often prevents escalation and reduces the cost of resolution. We ensure your legal rights are preserved and advise on next steps that align with your long-term interests.
