Expert guidance on a complex partnership dispute

Our small manufacturing firm faced a significant internal dispute with a founding partner regarding profit distribution and operational control. We engaged Russ Black at Katten based on his recognized expertise in business organizations and commercial law. Russ immediately demonstrated a deep understanding of North Carolina partnership law and the UCC provisions relevant to our contracts. His analysis was thorough, and his strategy for navigating the negotiations was pragmatic, focusing on preserving the business while protecting our interests. His background from Vanderbilt Law and his recognition in employment law also proved invaluable when personnel issues overlapped with the partnership matter. The resolution was favorable and allowed us to move forward. While his billing was transparent and fair for the complexity, there were a few instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected during particularly busy periods. Overall, Russ provided the seasoned counsel we needed.
