Business Dissolution & Partnership Disputes

Nothing lasts forever, and businesses are certainly no different. In some cases, businesses dissolve for amiable reasons: like a merger or buyout in which the business carries on under different owners. Receiving a profitable offer for the acquisition of a business is usually seen as a great success for business founders. In other cases, businesses are forced into dissolution due to extended periods of insolvency. Regardless of whether the dissolution of a business is amicable, there are many legal details and contingencies that require experienced business law attorneys.

Business Dissolution Concerns and Scenarios

Even in the most amiable of dissolution scenarios, there are a myriad of complex issues that need to be resolved:

  • Paying off business debts
  • Severance packages for executives and other agents of the company
  • Distribution of assets
  • IRS and state filing and compliance
  • Closing bank accounts

Our business dissolution attorneys in Riverside and Irvine can help you with any aspect of the dissolution process.

Partnership Disputes

Some dissolutions result in one way or another from partnership disputes. Conversely, partnership disputes often arise from disagreements in the process of dissolution. Our business dissolution lawyers have a wealth of experience helping our clients resolve their disputes that arise, including:

  • Partnership agreements and disputes
  • Fraud
  • Breach of contract

We offer business litigation services and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services like mediation and arbitration.

Estate Planning Implications

If the nature or ownership of a business changes, the interests in that former entity will change, as well. If you have an interest in a business that dissolved, you will need to update your estate plan as soon as possible so that it reflects this change. We will help you revise your wills and trust documents to include a more accurate, up-to-date business succession plan.

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
