Partnership Disputes

Partnership Dispute Resolution

An agreement that expressly details dispute resolution is imperative for any partnership. Whether you need assistance in creating such an agreement or resolving a dispute, we are here to help.

Thrift McLemore understands that a partnership is a blend of professional and personal relationships and that disputes can exacerbate preexisting frictions. Our attorneys bring an unbiased, legal viewpoint to the situation. We will work to resolve matters between the partners or help to dissolve the partnership if that is the best outcome for all parties.

Acting as mediators, we strive to resolve partnership disputes without lawsuits or other court interventions and realign the partnership to support future success. If a dispute cannot be resolved through discussion and mediation, we will represent a partner in a litigation process.

Our Aim

Our aim is to evaluate the disputes between partners and structure an outcome that is in the best interest of the individuals and the partnership itself. We will use mediation and other resources in an effort to reunify the partnership and structure it for continued success or help to dissolve it as needed.
