via Website contact formPartnership dissolution — urgent
My business partner and I are splitting up and it's turning ugly. We're a two-owner LLC with no buy-sell clause, and he's now claiming the client contracts are his. Our biggest client renews March 1 and he's threatening to sue if I contact them before then. I need someone who handles partnership dissolutions — and I need to know roughly what this costs.
Your partnership dissolution — how we can help
Dear Marcus, Thank you for reaching out to Harborview Legal. A contested dissolution combined with a dispute over who owns the client contracts is exactly the kind of matter we handle, and the March 1 renewal makes the timing important. Our partnership dissolution work starts at a flat $4,500; because yours involves an active contract dispute there may be additional hourly work at $350/hr. The first consultation is free. Two things that would help us prepare: has your partner formally retained his own attorney yet, and is your operating agreement a standard LLC agreement or something more customised? You can book a consultation here: https://cal.com/harborview-legal/consult Alex Rivera Harborview Legal (415) 555-0188
No, he hasn't hired anyone yet — he's threatening it but so far it's just him. The operating agreement is the standard one our accountant gave us when we set up the LLC, nothing custom. Friday afternoon works for a call if you have something.
Marcus, that helps a great deal — thank you. Since he hasn't retained counsel yet, there's a real window to get this papered before positions harden, and a standard LLC agreement without a buy-sell clause is a pattern we deal with often. The next step is a consultation with one of our attorneys, who can talk through your options ahead of the March 1 renewal. You can pick a time here: https://cal.com/harborview-legal/consult — it would help to have the operating agreement handy. Alex Rivera Harborview Legal (415) 555-0188
