Presenters
No one starts or joins a business expecting it to fail, or worse, expecting it to succeed and go on without them. Irreconcilable business relationships, however, are a fact of business life. A business breakup requires lawyers to use their skills as negotiators, litigators and transactional attorneys.
This program will help you shepherd your clients to a successful breakup so you can send them into a happy post-divorce future.
Topics include:
- An overview of business divorce
- Fiduciary duties of a departing lawyer
- Best practices to avoid litigation in family-owned businesses
- Collection and division of fees
- Permissible scope of non-competition clauses, if any
- General rules of corporate governance that apply, and those that do not
- Navigating the entity v. individual distinction in business divorce litigation
- The distinction between equity and non-equity partners
- Oppressed shareholder, partner and limited liability member actions
- Solicitation of clients
- Asymmetry of value and personal good will – what happens to value when partners have unique value
- The unfinished business doctrine and other ongoing duties owed to clients
- Charging liens and equitable lien
