It can involve an LLC, a general partnership, or a closely held business.<\/p>\n<p>Common triggers include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deadlock on major decisions, such as a sale, a loan, or a new hire<\/li>\n<li>Disputed capital contributions or unclear ownership shares<\/li>\n<li>Unpaid or unexplained distributions<\/li>\n<li>A partner locked out of bank accounts, records, or daily operations<\/li>\n<li>Disagreement over selling the business or one owner leaving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This page is written for co-owners, LLC members, family business partners, and investors who need counsel before the conflict grows.<\/p>\n<p>Your written agreements control much of what happens next. Where the operating agreement does not address a matter, Florida&#8217;s LLC law governs it (<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.

A court can order an LLC to allow inspection and copying of required records (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0411.html\">Fla.

Then it moves through document review, an options review, negotiation, and litigation only if needed.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free initial consultation.<\/strong> The first consultation is free and confidential, with no obligation to continue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document and facts review.<\/strong> We read the governing agreements, company records, and the timeline of the disagreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Options review.<\/strong> You get a plain-language review of negotiation, buyout, dissolution, and litigation, with the risks of each.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demand or negotiation.<\/strong> A written demand is often the first move. It can work well when both owners want an orderly exit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filing, if needed.<\/strong> If talks stall, we can file in court and keep you updated on each stage and each decision you need to make.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Timelines vary with how complex the agreements are, how the other owners respond, and the court calendar. The first review is where a realistic timeline is set.<\/p>\n<h2>Resolution Paths: Negotiation, Buyout, Dissolution, or Court<\/h2>\n<p>The main paths are a negotiated agreement, a buyout, a dissolution, or a lawsuit. Your documents decide which paths are open to you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Negotiated settlement:<\/strong> a written agreement on governance, accounting, or a structured buyout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buyout of a departing partner:<\/strong> a partnership must buy a dissociated partner&#8217;s interest at a buyout price, with interest from the date of dissociation. If no agreement is reached within 120 days after a written demand, the partnership pays its estimate in cash (<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>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deadlock sale provision:<\/strong> if the operating agreement has one and it is started in time, it can break a deadlock instead of a court-ordered dissolution (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0702.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 605.0702<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Election to purchase:<\/strong> in a member&#8217;s dissolution case, the company or other members may elect to buy that member&#8217;s interest at fair value. The election is generally filed within 90 days after the petition (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0706.html\">Fla.
