Why Partnership Disputes Happen
Whether you want to preserve the business or exit on fair terms, our legal team is here to guide you.
Even the strongest business partnerships can face conflict. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Disagreements over management or vision
- Unequal contributions of time or capital
- Financial misconduct or mismanagement
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Conflicts during expansion, merger, or sale
- Lack of clear exit or buyout provisions
Cambridge businesses—from tech startups to law firms to retail partnerships—are not immune to these issues. And if there’s no written agreement in place, things can get even more complicated.
