- Breach of fiduciary duty. We have extensive experience helping clients file actions for breach of fiduciary duty. If a broker, shareholder, or business officer has engaged in actions contrary to your interests, our skilled lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights.
- Breach of contract. The best way to prevent contract disputes from arising is to have an attorney assist you in drafting a sound and thorough agreement, but even a concise and well-thought-out contract may not be sufficient. Our San Francisco Peninsula attorneys are equipped to defend your interests.
- Partnership disputes. A disagreement between the owners of a company can destroy a business. We provide prompt and effective representation in many types of partnership disputes, including control disputes, shareholder disputes, merger and acquisition disputes, and dissolution litigation.
- Intellectual property disputes: In California, if you want to protect your trade secrets, it is essential to have employees sign a non-disclosure agreement. If an employee or former employee violates such an agreement, our lawyers can assist you in taking legal action.
