Some of the most common shareholder and partnership disputes arise out of:
- Strategic objectives and goals
- Employment decisions
- Expenses and debts
- Division of assets
- An imbalance of decision making power
- Disagreement on business direction
- Tax disputes
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Legal matters
