Strategic Counsel and Aggressive Litigation in High-Stakes Business Conflicts
Business partnerships thrive on trust, shared goals, and legal clarity. However, internal conflict can quickly threaten the entire enterprise when those foundations crack through mismanagement, betrayal, or shifting priorities. At Hone Law, we represent business partners, shareholders, and stakeholders in complex internal disputes that impact control, operations, and ownership.
Based in Las Vegas, our business litigators help companies across Nevada navigate partner fallout, ownership battles, and fiduciary breaches. Whether you’re facing an irreconcilable deadlock, forced buyout, or minority oppression, we bring precision, perspective, and legal firepower to protect what you’ve built.
When Business Partners Collide: What Triggers Shareholder & Partnership Disputes 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 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.
Every partnership and shareholder dispute is unique, but the stakes are always high. At Hone Law, we tailor our approach based on the business structure, the parties involved, and the outcome 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.
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.
Focused Litigation. Tailored Strategy. Real Results. Internal disputes can’t be handled passively. They demand clarity, strategy, and a willingness to escalate when needed. At Hone Law, we ground our approach in the business’s goals, the facts on the table, and the practical realities of conflict between former allies.
We take the time to analyze agreements, financials, and histories. We work with valuation experts, forensic accountants, and neutral third parties to strengthen our case. And when the other side won’t act reasonably, we’re fully prepared to go to court.
Through every step, we help clients assess risks, weigh outcomes, and choose the path that aligns with their goals—whether that’s exit, restructuring, or full litigation.
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.
We also advise new businesses on structuring ownership and control in ways that promote fairness and flexibility, especially in high-growth or closely held companies.
When prevention isn’t possible, litigation becomes the only tool left. Hone Law represents clients before:

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.
