Business Interruption Insurance Disputes

Every business, no matter how successful, can be profoundly impacted when it is forced to close, even temporarily. When these business interruptions occur, you can lose potential profits, alienate customers, and suffer losses from spoiled inventory.

However, simply because you have business interruption insurance does not mean your insurance company will pay when you suffer an interruption to your business.

Partnership Agreements

In many ways, a partnership is the most basic of business arrangements, but it is the heart of many small businesses. While a formal partnership agreement is not strictly required by New York State law, it is an important part of making sure your partners are all on the same page about how your business should be run. Thus, if you are running a business partnership without a formal agreement, or want to start a business partnership with others, you should seek legal guidance to create a partnership agreement.

  • Rules for leaving the partnership
  • Roles for spouses/family members
  • Disputes between partners

Our experienced legal attorneys at law will guide you through the steps of forming a partnership agreement that protects the interests of every member of your partnership. We will help you to decide how you want the profits and losses to be split in your partnership, and create rules for admitting new partners. We will also help you deal with any issues or lawsuits that could arise if one partner decides to leave the partnership, or if one of you suddenly dies and leaves their stake in the business to an heir. These are issues that could devastate your business if you aren’t prepared to deal with them, so contact a business lawyer to help you before it becomes an emergency.

Joint Venture Structuring

There are some things you simply cannot handle alone, no matter how competent you are in your chosen field. Even in business, some things may be out of your reach, unless you are willing to cooperate with someone else to get the job done. When two or more businesses decide to team up for the sake of pursuing a goal that requires their collective abilities and resources, it is known as a joint venture. And in many ways, creating a joint venture can be just as intense as starting a new business from scratch.

The business lawyers at Blodnick, Fazio & Clark will work with you to structure your joint venture and make sure it advances your business’ interests. We handle a variety of issues related to joint ventures, including:

  • Defining the scope of the joint venture
  • Managing conflicts of interest
  • Obtaining financing
  • Creating rules for control of the venture’s funds
  • Negotiating ownership of assets
  • Limiting liability
  • Resolving internal conflicts
  • Creating an exit mechanism

Joint ventures can be ideal for taking advantage of potential opportunities, but they can also be sources of strife for the unwary. That is why our attorneys at law will work with you to create a joint venture agreement that will protect your interests and rights. We will help you work out thorny issues related to the financing of the joint venture’s activities, and help you determine the level of control over its assets. We will also help you negotiate methods for resolving internal conflicts, including the use of alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration or mediation. These may seem like silly issues, but working them out in advance can save you a lot of headaches later.
