Business Litigation
Dallas, Texas Business Litigation Attorney
Disputes that impact the maintenance and operation of a business can undermine a company's financial health and position within the marketplace. When employee contracts are violated or confidential information is misused, an injunctive relief may not be enough to cover financial harm suffered by a company. At the law office of Stephen Kaplan, P.C., we represent businesses, managers, and shareholders in litigation involving breaches of contract, violations of fiduciary duty, and allegations of financial mismanagement. When necessary, we work with forensic accountants and private investigators to evaluate the actions of business partners and managers. We review the bylaws and Certificate of Formation or Articles of Incorporation and identify violations of partnership and operating agreements that resulted in economic harm to our client.
If you believe you have suffered financial harm due to the actions of a business partner, manager, or employee, contact business litigation lawyer Stephen Kaplan today to schedule an appointment and discuss your case.

The Importance of Bylaws and Operating Agreements
Bylaws are usually drafted and approved under the charter of a company's Certificate of Formation or Articles of Incorporation. As a result, they are essential when disputes arise regarding who has the authority to make certain kinds of decisions in a company. This is especially the case when disputes arise regarding the use of corporate accounts and the allocation of company assets. In preparing our cases, we apply a company's stated organizational documents and defend our client accordingly.
In litigation involving limited liability companies, operating agreements almost always include buy-out provisions, the capital contribution of members, cash flow and distributions, and terms applicable to the dissolution of the company. When disputes arise regarding any of these issues, the organizational documents of a company must be consulted. In leveraging our client's case, we apply what is contained in a company's organizational records, exposing violations of state terms and processes pertinent to our client's case.
