Other Practice Areas
Shareholder Litigation & Disputes
Oftentimes when partners or equity owners of a closely held entity, LLC, or partnership cannot agree on business decisions, there is a need to engage an attorney to help sort out the dispute. Some areas that may need seasoned legal representation are:
- Breaches of fiduciary duties
- Violation of shareholder rights
- Mismanagement of funds
- Breaches of covenant of good faith and fair dealing
- Operating agreements
- Fraud

Environmental Litigation
In today’s evolving business environment, companies need to be aware of their responsibility to local communities and the global impact their actions have. State and federal regulations are extremely complex in this area of the law and therefore compliance has taken on additional importance to companies and the way they conduct business. Sometimes, even the most ardent environmental supporters can find themselves embroiled in conflicts with regulatory agencies and community watchdogs. Innocent companies who don’t perform due diligence can find themselves named a “potentially responsible party” in another’s lawsuit.
