Holding others accountable when business disputes arise

On Behalf of | Mar 31, 2016 | Business Torts |

Two minds are better than one, or so the saying goes. In the business community, this principle often holds true, as Miami residents can accomplish great things by teaming up with others and putting their skills together. At the same time, however, business partnerships can quickly deteriorate, particularly when one partner alleges wrongdoing by the other.

Recently, this blog discussed some of the legal ramifications that may occur when a partner alleges a breach of fiduciary duty against another. Florida law provides for certain fiduciary duties that must be followed by general partners, and the partner can be held liable if he or she fails to follow through on those duties.

Breach of fiduciary duty claims, as well as other claims, may be more common than some may think. Wrongdoing within a partnership can take many different forms. For instance, a partner might not be putting the partnership ahead of his or her other business, or may be usurping opportunities that rightfully belonged to the partnership itself. In other instances, the partner may be inappropriately handling partnership assets or funds.
