Business disputes can be potentially destructive and requires tenacious and thoughtful representation. Below are some examples of the typical business litigation cases we handle:
- Breach of Contract
Contracts, whether written, oral or implied, are involved in all aspects of business. From business formation contracts to contracts with one’s customers, suppliers and joint venturers. The breakdown in contractual relations is very serious. If you find that you are involved in a dispute concerning a contract and/or its terms, Rognlien Law Firm can help you. - Shareholder/Partnership Disputes
Partners and shareholders can get in conflict with one another. Especially where one is abusing their power or not complying with the partnership or shareholder agreements. This can often happen where there are majority and minority interests which come in conflict. These disputes can easily escalate, even leading to forced dissolution. Rognlien Law Firm represents partners and shareholders in resolving these disputes in the best and most cost effective way to ensure that your rights and business interests are protected and fully monetized. - Breach of Fiduciary Duties
Anyone acting in a fiduciary relationship, such as partners, directors and officers, has the obligation to perform with a high standard of honesty and full disclosure. But when that professional fails to meet this obligation and act in your best interest, a breach of fiduciary duty has occurred and you are able to seek compensation. - Trade Secret Protection
Businesses often contract with their employees to maintain their trade secrets. A business’s trade secrets are proprietary and if misappropriated can have devastating financial impacts on businesses. There are laws, such as obtaining permanent injunctions, which allow businesses to stop former employees from misappropriating trade secrets. Conversely, if a former employee is wrongfully accused of using information which is not a trade secret, this is legally without merit. Rognlien Law Firm can represent businesses who justly protect their trade secrets and employees who have been wrongly accused of using trade secrets. We fight on the side of right.
