When Business Partners Collide: What Triggers Shareholder & Partnership DisputesWhen Internal Conflict Becomes a Legal Crisis
Partnership and shareholder disputes arise when business co-owners or stakeholders clash over governance, profits, direction, or their respective rights and duties. While some disputes can be resolved through internal agreements or negotiation, others spiral into litigation that threatens both relationships and business viability.
In Nevada, these disputes may involve:
A strong legal response is critical when relationships break down or legal obligations are ignored. Hone Law represents majority owners, minority shareholders, partners, and LLC members in disputes requiring commercial understanding and litigation strength.
At Hone Law, we represent parties on all sides of intra-business litigation, from dissolutions and buyouts to direct claims for damages or injunctive relief.
Partners and company officers owe each other—and the business—specific fiduciary duties. When someone prioritizes their personal interests over the company’s, we pursue accountability and restitution through strategic litigation.
Deadlock, mismanagement, or unauthorized decision-making can stall operations and jeopardize the business. We help resolve disputes over voting rights, board authority, and control of company assets.
Nevada law protects minority owners from unfairly prejudicial or financially abusive actions. We litigate claims involving freeze-outs, diluted ownership, and withheld dividends or other forms of information.
When co-owners can’t move forward together, we guide clients through negotiated exits or formal dissolutions. We manage negotiations, valuation disputes, and asset division while safeguarding long-term interests.
Buyout rights often turn contentious when parties disagree over valuation methods or triggering events. We analyze agreements, challenge unfair practices, and ensure our clients receive what they’re owed.
When financial decisions or expense practices raise red flags, we investigate and pursue or defend claims related to embezzlement, unauthorized compensation, or inappropriate risk exposure.
Navigating Deadlock. Enforcing Rights. Protecting Value.
No two partnership or shareholder disputes are alike, but each carries the potential to reshape a business. Hone Law adapts its strategy to the specific structure, relationships, and goals at issue, always aligning our approach with the result our client needs most.
We begin with a candid evaluation of the business, governing documents, and the parties’ legal positions. Our attorneys identify leverage points and map a course to resolve the dispute or prepare for litigation.
Many disputes begin with formal notices or settlement efforts. We prepare demand letters, negotiation strategies, and exit agreements that protect our clients while minimizing public fallout.
Swift action may be needed when control is in dispute or misappropriation occurs. We pursue emergency court orders to freeze assets, stop unauthorized decisions, or remove rogue partners.
When disputes escalate, our team is prepared. We litigate complex partnership and shareholder matters in court, including claims for damages, dissolution, injunctive relief, and forced buyouts.
Some agreements require ADR before or during litigation. We represent clients in mediation and arbitration proceedings, balancing efficiency with protecting our clients’ long-term business interests.
Business-Critical. Strategically Resolved.
Hone Law’s business litigation team handles a wide array of internal disputes across industries, including startups, closely held corporations, professional firms, and family-run businesses.
We help break management stalemates that paralyze businesses. We resolve impasses around direction, capital, and authority through litigation or restructuring.
We represent oppressed minority stakeholders and defend majority owners accused of violating their duties. We understand the legal thresholds and reputational risks involved in these claims.
When partners or co-owners can no longer work together, we guide the business through restructuring, buyouts, or formal dissolution—protecting value and minimizing collateral damage.
We bring and defend shareholder derivative actions for harm to the company and direct claims for individual harm, ensuring the right remedies are pursued for the right reasons.
Close relationships can make litigation more personal and more explosive. We handle family-owned and professional business disputes with discretion, focus, and a results-driven mindset.
Internal disputes are some of the most disruptive conflicts a business can face—and they can’t be handled passively. Hone Law confronts these challenges head-on, blending strategic insight with a readiness to escalate when necessary. Our approach is rooted in the facts, the business’s priorities, and the hard realities of conflict among former allies.
We leave nothing unchecked: scrutinizing contracts, tracing financial records, and consulting with valuation professionals and forensic experts to build leverage. When negotiations fail, we don’t hesitate to bring the fight to court and protect our client’s interests with decisive litigation.
Through every phase, we give clients the clarity to weigh risks, anticipate outcomes, and make informed choices—whether their best path is exit, restructuring, or a full-scale courtroom battle.
Strong Agreements. Smarter Planning.
At Hone Law, we help businesses avoid future conflict through proactive legal planning. We draft and review operating agreements, buy-sell provisions, partnership contracts, and dispute resolution clauses that clarify expectations and reduce ambiguity.

Yes. Many disputes are resolved through alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation or arbitration. These approaches can be more cost-effective and private than litigation. However, if those methods fail, litigation may be necessary to achieve a fair outcome.
