Wilson \u00b7 Published October 18, 2026<\/p>\n\n<article lang=\"en\">\n\n\n<p>A partnership dispute is a disagreement between co-owners about how a business is run, paid, or divided. For a partnership dispute lawyer Coral Gables business owners can consult, the first step is reading the written agreement. KEW Legal focuses on business disputes for owners and investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida. Kristina E. Wilson is the attorney responsible for this page.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Partnership Dispute Is and Who This Service Is For<\/h2>\n<p>A partnership dispute is a conflict between co-owners over the business itself. It can involve an LLC, a partnership, or a closely held corporation. Florida handles each entity type under its own set of laws, so the entity type matters from the start. Florida&#8217;s partnership rules are in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/Laws\/Statutes\/2023\/Chapter620\">Chapter 620<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This service is for LLC members, partners, shareholders, and investors. It fits anyone who needs to resolve a conflict with a business partner, ideally before the conflict reaches a courtroom.<\/p>\n<p>For an LLC, the operating agreement comes first. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0105.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0105<\/a>, the operating agreement governs relations among members. The statute fills in only what the agreement leaves out. That is why the agreement is the first document we review.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your partner has stopped sharing distributions or a buyout has stalled, our team can review your agreement and your options with you. Reach out to schedule your first consultation. Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+13059902300\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kewlegal.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kewlegal.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/empty-storefront-interior-after-hours-with-a-closed-sign-bar-photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Empty storefront interior after hours, with a closed sign, bare shelves, and a for sale notice on the window.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2>Disputes This Practice Covers<\/h2>\n<p>The most common disputes involve money, votes, and exits. The agreement&#8217;s terms on these points often decide the outcome.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ownership and capital.<\/strong> Disagreements over ownership percentages and whether each owner paid the capital promised.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distributions and profit splits.<\/strong> One owner receives payments while another does not, or the split is unclear.<\/li>\n<li>Amending the operating agreement requires every member&#8217;s consent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadlock.<\/strong> Two equal owners who cannot agree can stall the business.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exits and buyouts.<\/strong> Disputes over withdrawal, valuation, and the buyout price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0601.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0601<\/a>, a withdrawal can be wrongful. A person who wrongfully dissociates is liable to the company and other members for damages caused by the departure.<\/p>\n<p>For a partnership, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0620\/Sections\/0620.8701.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 620.8701<\/a> requires the partnership to buy a departing partner&#8217;s interest when the business keeps running. Interest runs from the date of departure to the date of payment.<\/p>\n<p>These conflicts often connect to other business matters. Vendor contracts, succession planning, and business sales can arise from the same disagreement.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works, Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>The process moves from a consultation to document review, then to the path you choose. That path may be negotiation, mediation, or litigation.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Consultation.<\/strong> The initial consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation to continue. We review the facts and your goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document review.<\/strong> We read the operating or partnership agreement, any amendments, buy-sell terms, and the financial records tied to the issue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Options.<\/strong> We explain negotiation, a written demand, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0044\/Sections\/0044.102.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 44.102<\/a>, a court must refer a filed civil action for monetary damages to mediation when one party asks, with listed exceptions. If your agreement has an arbitration clause, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0682\/Sections\/0682.02.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 682.02<\/a> makes it valid and enforceable, with limited exceptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Action.<\/strong> We carry out the path you choose and update you at each stage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The length of each stage turns on the facts, the agreement&#8217;s terms, and how the other side responds. We discuss a realistic timeline at the consultation.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Gather Before Your Consultation<\/h2>\n<p>Gather your agreements, ownership records, money records, and a short timeline before your first meeting. A complete file lets the review move faster.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your operating or partnership agreement, every amendment, and any buy-sell or shareholder agreement.<\/li>\n<li>Formation documents, ownership records, and proof of capital contributions.<\/li>\n<li>Financial statements, distribution records, and bank records tied to the dispute.<\/li>\n<li>Emails, texts, and notices exchanged with your partner.<\/li>\n<li>A written summary of your goals, such as keeping the business, negotiating an exit, or recovering funds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For LLCs, the records rules matter. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0410.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0410<\/a>, an LLC keeps a current list of members and managers and a copy of its operating agreement. It also keeps financial statements for the three most recent years, if any. Within 10 days after a member&#8217;s demand, the company must say what information it will provide, and when and where.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Work with KEW Legal in Coral Gables<\/h2>\n<p>KEW Legal handles the business side of partnership disputes, not only the courtroom side.
