Stakeholder Protection for Shareholders, LLC Members or Partnership

Chicago Stakeholder Protection Attorneys for Shareholders, LLC Members and Partners

All commercial ventures with multiple stakeholders - shareholders, LLC members, or partners - at some point confront issues, disagreements, or conflicts of interest because not everyone in the same venture always has the same interests or agendas. What is best for the enterprise may not be best of its individual stakeholders, especially when stakeholders feel their interest are ignored if they have minority or non-voting positions.

Stakeholder disputes, whether internally among management or aimed at management by minority or non-voting interests, can cripple a commercial enterprise and cause serious financial harm.

We have over 30 years of experience advancing the legal rights and practical concerns of business people with litigation, arbitration or mediation, in matters that can routinely affect business owners or business entities:

I was referred to Peter Lubin from someone in the car business to handle a law suit. From the moment I made the appointment Peter and his staff were outstanding. This wasn't an easy case, most lawyers had turned me down. However, Peter took the time to meet with me and review everything. He took on the case, and constantly communicated with me about updates and case information. We beat this non-compete agreement case in record time. I would use him again and recommend him to my closest family and friends. 5 stars is not enough to thank him for his service. Sebastian R.

I worked on two occasions with Peter Lubin and his staff. They took their time with me and discussed each and every item in detail. The group makes you feel like you are part of the family and not just another hourly charge. I recommend Peter to anyone who asks me for a referral. If you are looking for a top notch attorney at a reasonable rate, look no further than Lubin Austermuehle. Kurt A.

Excellent law firm. My case was a complicated arbitration dispute from another state. Was handled with utmost professionalism and decency. Mr. Peter Lubin was able to successfully resolve the case on my behalf and got me a very favorable settlement. Would recommend to anyone looking for a serious law firm. Great staff and great lawyers! Albey L.

I have known Peter Lubin for over 30 years. He has represented me on occasion with sound legal advice. He is a shrewd and tough negotiator leading to positive outcomes and averting prolonged legal hassles in court. He comes from a family with a legal pedigree and deep roots in Chicago's top legal community. You want him on your case. You need him on your opponents case. He won't stop fighting until he wins. Christopher G.

Peter was really nice and helpful when I came to him with an initial question about a non-compete. Would definitely reach out again, recommended to everyone. Johannes B.
