Business Divorce & Litigation Attorneys in Rochester

Protecting the Interests of Your Business

We understand that you worked hard to build your business. You sacrificed time with your family and personal funds to make your business a success. At one point, you also entered the business with one or more partners who shared the same vision of success.

Many factors can lead to a dispute among partners, members, or shareholders, or even to the need to end the business by dissolution. Whether it is a difference of opinion, a growing personal tension, or a different vision about the direction of the business, these situations are potentially insurmountable.

Our Rochester business dissolution & litigation lawyers can help you understand what legal solutions may be available to you as you consider how to handle an ongoing dispute involving company owners. We are familiar with how these matters are best resolved and, if necessary, adjudicated should they proceed to litigation.

• Conducting an initial assessment of your situation to help determine reasonable goals
• Devise potential strategies and paths forward to efficiently achieve those goals
• Serve as your unemotional, detached, and level-headed advisor who can help safeguard the fruits of your efforts

How We Can Help You With Your Business Dispute

It can be easy to become overwhelmed by unrealistic hypotheticals when facing a potential business dissolution, or “business divorce.” While you may not be able to avoid the conflict itself, you can control how you address it and how far you will let the other side take you. With the right attorney, you can even control how much of the asset you retain.

At The Glennon Law Firm, we have experience handling:

• Partnership disputes
• LLC disputes
• Dissolutions
• Shareholder disputes
• Breach of contract claims
• Franchise disputes
• Other corporate litigation

Business dissolutions can quickly become complex, labyrinthine affairs requiring thorough legal knowledge of the relevant state and federal laws. In addition to conflicts between business owners, dissenting shareholders and the need to meet regulatory compliance can further complicate the situation.

We can help you strategize and negotiate to protect your interests and assets. Our goal is to work with you to achieve the best outcome.

Working to Resolve Disputes Pre-Litigation

While we are prepared to help litigate or arbitrate any business divorce should the situation call for it, the reality is that going to court is expensive, time-consuming, and exhausting. It will also likely result in further aggression, resentment, and unpleasantness between you and your business collaborators.

It is more than likely that everyone involved in the conflict agrees that a company cannot continue under its current ownership and/or management structure. You will need to find some path forward, one that safeguards your interests in and contributions to the business.

In some situations, a mutually agreeable solution can be found without resorting to litigation. We help clients devise the best business resolution for each situation. Early guidance from us can help you clearly identify your individual goals and assist you in developing a strategy where you will know what decision to make at each crossroad, as you seek to resolve the conflict and disputes.

Our team is adept at deescalating and resolving disputes in pursuit of positive results. Avoiding litigation will save you money and time. But we are equally adept at position you to achieve the proper outcome for you, should arbitration or litigation be unavoidable. The earlier we partner with you, the better positioned you will be.

Conducting Business Appraisals

One of the points of contention in a potential business divorce is the valuation of the company and its assets. Obtaining accurate appraisals will often be essential as buyout negotiations and other forms of business divorce litigation play out.

We are experienced with working with professional real estate and business appraisers. We can help you procure accurate estimates that will bring you closer to achieving your goals in a business divorce.
