CORPORATE DIVORCE LAWYERS & BUSINESS ATTORNEYS On Long Island
​
Corporate divorce may sound like an odd term but it is often used to describe the dissolution of partnerships, corporations or family held businesses. There are a host of reasons why a decision to dissolve a business may occur and often, shareholders, partners or other family members may not agree with that decision. This often results in anger, frustration and almost always, in a contentious process that causes formerly good friends, partners or family members to turn on each other.
UNDERSTANDING THE DISSOLUTION PROCESS
While it may seem closing the doors and refusing calls is the best way to halt a business, this is far from a method that is considered acceptable. When more than one person owns a business, a majority of the stakeholders must agree to the dissolution. The Long Island law firm of Solomon Richman P.C. can help you through the entire legal process while protecting your rights and interests regardless of what type of business entity you may be dissolving.
NOTIFICATIONS TO BE MADE
Once the decision has been made to dissolve a business, there are numerous notifications that must be made. In addition to ensuring all business stakeholders are notified and have the opportunity to voice their opinions, suppliers, customers, the State of New York, the IRS and employees must also be notified. Business formation will play a significant role in how much say others have in how dissolution is handled. Sole proprietorships require only the business owner to make a decision, while partnerships, C Corporations and LLCs require majority approval.
YOU NEED AN ADVOCATE ON YOUR SIDE
When a business is dissolving there are often numerous issues which must be dealt with. In some cases, business assets must be sold or divided among the stakeholders of the business. In addition, final bills must be paid, tax returns filed and outstanding lawsuits settled.
