Contracts are the lifeblood of business, but the flow is not always smooth. When disputes arise, business law lawyers help owners and managers understand their rights. The legal steps to enforce a contract or break it are outlined for a client so appropriate choices can be made

Not all disputes need to go to a costly court trial either. Methods of alternative dispute resolution include negotiation, neutral evaluation, mediation, and arbitration. These methods may control costs and still reach a binding settlement.

Careful attention to details is required when drafting initial agreements among shareholders along with asset purchases, joint ventures, and other contracts. It is vital to get their language right and not leave any costly loopholes. A business attorney familiar with California statutes and regulations can research strategies best suited to specific situations.

An experienced legal adviser can allow a partner to effectively defend his or her position and hold someone to the terms of a partnership agreement.

Facilitating negotiations between partners may even resolve the issue, avoid court, and allow a business to focus on its core purpose.

Examples of issues that a stock holder agreement needs to determine are how will shares be sold or bought when a shareholder dies, divorces, or faces personal bankruptcy.
