Business disputes and financial misconduct can threaten a company’s operations, assets, and long-term value. Acarkan Law represents companies, shareholders, partners, LLC members, and investors in disputes involving business ownership, management, fiduciary obligations, and the misuse of company assets. Our practice includes civil claims against officers, directors, managers, employees, and others involving embezzlement, fraud, self-dealing, diversion of funds, and misappropriation of business opportunities. We assist clients in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, including matters involving closely held companies, family businesses, and real estate ventures

  • We represent clients in disagreements concerning ownership interests, management authority, voting rights, profit distributions, capital contributions, and obligations under partnership, shareholder, and operating agreements. Our practice includes disputes arising when an owner is excluded from management, denied financial information, or deprived of the economic benefits of ownership.

  • We represent clients asserting or defending claims involving alleged misconduct by partners, managers, directors, officers, and controlling owners. These matters may concern self-dealing, undisclosed conflicts, diversion of business opportunities, improper compensation, or transactions that benefit an insider at the expense of the company or other owners.

  • Minority owners may face exclusion from decision-making, withheld distributions, or pressure to surrender their interests on unfavorable terms. Businesses may also become unable to function when owners cannot agree on essential decisions. We help clients evaluate their rights and pursue appropriate relief, including negotiated buyouts, enforcement of governing agreements, and judicial remedies where available.

  • We handle disputes involving allegations of diverted revenue, unauthorized transfers, concealed transactions, misuse of company funds, and misrepresentations concerning business finances or ownership. Our work focuses on tracing disputed transactions, identifying responsible parties, and pursuing recovery or other appropriate relief.

  • Access to reliable financial information is often central to resolving an ownership dispute. We assist clients with demands for company books and records, contested accountings, and disputes concerning distributions, expenses, and related-party payments. We use financial records to assess how the business has been managed and whether company or owner funds have been improperly withheld or used.

  • Business misconduct may injure an individual owner, the company itself, or both. We evaluate the nature of the alleged harm and the appropriate means of pursuing relief, including direct claims and derivative actions. When continued joint ownership is no longer workable, we represent clients in disputes involving dissolution, winding up, valuation, and the division or purchase of ownership interests.

  • We represent owners and investors in disputes involving family enterprises, closely held companies, and entities formed to acquire, develop, or manage real estate. These matters often combine personal relationships with substantial financial commitments. We address disagreements over control, financing, property management, rental income, sales, and the allocation of profits and losses.
