Our business dissolution lawyers help businesses and partnerships make a clean break

Partnership divorce refers to the legal separation of business partners due to disputes, misaligned goals, or changes in personal or financial circumstances. It often involves dividing assets, resolving liabilities, and unwinding shared responsibilities. Our business dissolution lawyers help clients navigate partnership divorces to protect their interests and ensure a smooth, enforceable exit strategy.

Voluntary dissolution occurs when business owners choose to formally close and wind down operations, often due to retirement, strategic shifts, or mutual agreement. Proper dissolution helps avoid future liability and ensures assets and obligations are handled correctly. Our business dissolution lawyers guide clients through every step of the voluntary dissolution process to protect their interests and ensure legal compliance.

Involuntary dissolution happens when a business is legally forced to shut down, often due to internal disputes, deadlock, fraud, or regulatory noncompliance. It can lead to complex legal and financial consequences if not handled properly. Our business dissolution lawyers represent clients in involuntary dissolution proceedings to protect their rights and resolve disputes efficiently.

Judicial dissolution is a court-ordered process to dissolve a business when owners are deadlocked, rights are being oppressed, or the business can no longer operate effectively. It often involves complex disputes between partners or shareholders. Our business dissolution lawyers represent clients in seeking or defending against judicial dissolution to safeguard their interests and ensure a fair resolution.

Dissolution by expiration occurs when a business entity automatically ends after reaching the duration specified in its founding documents. While straightforward, it still requires formal steps to wind down operations and settle obligations. Our business dissolution lawyers assist clients in navigating the legal process to ensure a clean and compliant closure.

Administrative termination happens when a business is dissolved by the state, often due to failure to file required reports, pay fees, or maintain good standing. This type of termination can have serious legal and financial consequences if not promptly addressed. Our business dissolution lawyers help clients resolve administrative issues, restore good standing when possible, or properly close the business in compliance with state law.
