Last updated on May 8, 2026
When a business relationship breaks down at the ownership level, the fallout is rarely contained. In Los Angeles, disputes between partners or shareholders can disrupt operations, trigger financial exposure and threaten long-term growth.
At Burkhalter Kessler Clement & George LLP, we represent business owners and executives who cannot afford uncertainty. We approach each matter with a clear objective: securing control of the outcome. If you need a Los Angeles partnership dispute attorney, we move quickly to assess risk, protect your position and execute a strategy built for resolution.
Protecting Your Interests In A Business Divorce
A business breakup is not just a legal dispute. It is a turning point that defines ownership, control and future scalability. Working with a business divorce attorney in Los Angeles means addressing far more than contract language. In the Los Angeles market, these disputes often center on:
- Equity and control: Who directs the company and how ownership interests are preserved
- Strategic positioning: Whether the business continues, restructures or dissolves
- Outcome-driven resolution: We focus on executing a plan, not simply reacting to claims
Our approach centers on ownership of outcomes, using high-leverage negotiation or litigation to secure a definitive result.
Resolving Fiduciary Breaches And Shareholder Conflicts
Disputes often arise from internal misconduct or competing financial interests. A shareholder litigation lawyer in Los Angeles must address both legal exposure and business risk. We handle matters involving:
- Breach of fiduciary duty: Protecting the company from internal fraud, misuse of assets or self-dealing conduct
- Shareholder freeze-outs and derivative actions: Representing both majority and minority owners in closely held companies
- Tactical dissolutions: Managing the structured or contested breakup of high-value entities across industries
Each case requires a precise strategy that aligns with the scale and complexity of the business.

We combine direct partner-level involvement with the resources needed to handle complex litigation, preparing every case as if it will proceed to trial.
