REQUEST A CONSULTATION

Partnerships thrive on trust, clarity, and performance. When a partner fails to meet contractual obligations, the fallout can threaten cash flow, reputation, and long-term growth. If you are facing a business partner breach of contract, you need swift, strategic legal action that protects your rights and positions your company for a strong outcome.

At Anton Legal Group, we represent founders, partners, and closely held companies throughout Washington, DC, Alexandria, VA, Annapolis, MD, Chevy Chase, MD, and across Florida. Our attorneys pair meticulous contract analysis with practical business judgment so you can make confident decisions under pressure.

What Counts as a Breach of Contract Between Partners

A partner may breach the agreement by failing to perform required duties, violating fiduciary obligations, or acting outside the scope of authority. Common breaches include:

  • Failure to contribute capital or resources
  • Unauthorized withdrawals or misuse of company funds
  • Violation of non compete or confidentiality provisions
  • Failure to meet performance metrics or management duties
  • Unapproved transactions, side deals, or self-dealing
  • Refusal to follow dispute resolution or governance procedures

Our team reviews your partnership agreement, operating agreement, bylaws, and related contracts to determine the type of breach, the available remedies, and the most efficient path forward.

The best strategy depends on your goals, business realities, and the strength of your documentation. We help clients pursue:

  • Negotiation and Cure Plans
    Demand letters, structured timelines, and corrective measures that restore compliance.
  • Mediation or Arbitration
    Contract-required forums that can resolve disputes privately and quickly.
  • Injunctive Relief
    Court orders that stop harmful conduct, protect trade secrets, or freeze disputed assets
  • Damages and Accounting
    Recovery for lost profits, clawbacks for improper distributions, and forensic review.
  • Buyout or Dissociation
    Enforcing buy-sell provisions, valuation mechanisms, and separation terms.
  • Dissolution and Wind-Down
    When the relationship cannot be repaired, we protect value and ensure an orderly exit.

We start with a clear assessment of facts, documents, and business objectives. Then we craft a focused strategy that builds negotiation leverage and prepares for litigation if needed. Our approach includes:

  • Careful review of governance documents and amendments
  • Evidence preservation and communications protocol
  • Financial analysis and damages modeling
  • Targeted discovery plans that surface key proof quickly
  • Parallel negotiation while maintaining litigation readiness

Clients rely on Anton Legal Group for direct attorney access, thorough preparation, and a balanced approach that values both resolution and strength in court. You will work with an experienced attorney who explains your options in plain English, moves decisively, and keeps business continuity front and center.
