Most business owners do not call an attorney until something has already gone sideways.
By then the damage is usually already happening. A partner is threatening to walk or worse, threatening to sue. An employee situation is escalating. A vendor is coming after you for money you may not have. The IRS sent a letter.
And you are trying to run your business at the same time.
The longer you wait the worse most of these situations get.
A disagreement becomes a legal action.
A complaint becomes a lawsuit.
A cash flow problem becomes a crisis.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. And you shouldn’t wait.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
A business owner came to us owing $160,000 to a vendor who was threatening a lawsuit. The money was real. The pressure was real.
Ian got to the table. Stopped the legal action. Negotiated the situation down and bought the business four months of breathing room.
That time was enough to find new investors, activate new contracts, and turn a crisis into a comeback.
That is what having the right person in your corner looks like.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK BEFORE THEY CALL
-
Call an attorney before you do anything else. The steps you take in the first few days of a partner dispute matter a lot. Ian can help you understand where you stand and what your options are before things get worse.
-
Yes. Most business disputes never go to court. Ian's first goal is always to find a path forward that does not require litigation. Court is expensive and slow. Negotiation is usually better for everyone.
-

This is more common than most people think and it is almost always negotiable. Ian gets in front of these situations, talks to the other side, and helps you find a path that does not destroy your business.
