Partnership disputes can be extremely difficult for both the individuals involved and their business interests. Many times, partnerships are formed between people that know each other very well and have worked together for some time. As with other relationships, however, business partnerships can sour or objectives conflict. When a significant partnership dispute occurs, obtaining experienced legal representation is prudent. The business litigation attorneys at Cantrell Zwetsch understands that partnership disputes often involve more than just dollars and cents. We apply pragmatic approaches designed to meet our clients’ objectives.
