At other times, a company’s stakeholders are split about the best course for the business. You may find yourself advocating, or opposing, a court action to force an involuntary dissolution due to

  • Partnership Dispute — Those heading the company disagree about the direction it should take, and reconciliation seems unlikely, and corporate governance, impossible.
  • Bankruptcy — Creditors may attempt to force your company into bankruptcy because they fear that the current course of the company will result in insolvency.
  • Shareholder Oppression — A minority of the stakeholders believe that the majority is not observing fiduciary duties and is abusing corporate power for personal interests, to the detriment of the company.

Under such contentiousness, you need strong legal representation to address the important issues without incurring crushing debt or additional tax liability. The tax issue is huge, because individual owners of the business will owe any unpaid state and federal tax.
