How?
Most Partnership Problems Can Be Resolved. Having a Neutral Party Mediate Meetings Takes Away the Pressure and Stress.
I work with clients in nearly every state and Canada. The goal is to help with your partnership and business issues in the least costly manner. Generally, we see real progress after only a couple video meetings. Most business issues can be solved by setting up processes that are reasonable and easy to follow. If it’s best to end the partnership, I can help you there too.

How to Get Out of a Partnership LLC
While it seems like it should be very easy to get out of an LLC, it can be complicated. Even if the business is very small, there are considerations beyond getting your money back. In this post, I’ll try to hit the important points of getting out of an LLC Partnership. These same items apply if you want to remove a member from your LLC too.
The Partner You Have or the Partner You Wish You Had
We often form partnerships because of the way the relationship works. One person wants to be in charge and the other is fine with that. Then something comes up and the expectations cause tension. We have to deal with the partner we have, not the one we wish we had.
Violence By a Business Partner Is Never OK
If your business partner ever is violent, call 911 immediately. Yes, even if he missed. You want to document threats of or actual violence.
The Fiduciary Duties of Partners in a Business Partnership
Partners in a business partnership, other than limited partners, have legal obligations to the partnership that are called the Fiduciary Partnership Duties. In this post, we’ll look at these duties and, hopefully, clarify what they mean.
Do Not Stop Working if You Want to Leave the Partnership
When the business partnership breaks down, the darker sides of the personalities come through. A dominant partner turns into a bully. A person who does not do well with conflict will withdraw. As the bully gets more aggressive, the pacifist withdraws further. Eventually, the bully gets so angry they are ready to lock the other partner out. The pacifist quits coming in. The next blowout is over money. The course is as logically predictable as what will happen to your car if you hit the highway with no oil in the engine. It will get louder and louder until the engine seizes.
When Politics and Business Partners Don’t Mix
Unless you are in some sort of political business, you should keep politics out of your establishment completely. Of course, you have freedom of speech, but we are in very contentious times and displays of political or religious positions might be off-putting to to your customers.
All work is fully confidential from the first moment of contact. Every new client relationship begins with consultations with all parties. It's important to me that we all feel good about working together before we start. This site does not provide specific legal advice.
