Stanley has been fighting — both in and out of the courtroom — to protect Arizona business owners from legal issues such as unfair contract terms, breaches of contract, shareholder disputes, business lawsuits, and much more.
Contract Disputes
A contract dispute is a written request seeking as a matter of right, the payment of money in a sum certain, the adjustment or interpretation of contract terms, or other relief arising under or relating to the contract. Many contracts provide that all contract disputes must be arbitrated by the parties to the contract, rather than litigated in courts. By law, some contracts, including most securities brokerage contracts, must be arbitrated; other contracts are referred by courts as a matter of local law or policy. Arbitrated judgments are generally enforced and appealed in the same manner as ordinary court judgments; a majority of states have adopted the Uniform Arbitration Act to facilitate the enforcement of arbitrated judgments.Business Breakups
Dissolution is the process of admitting or removing a partner in a partnership. In the process, a revaluation of the company’s assets is conducted to prevent overstating or understating the company’s current net value. In addition, there may be other stipulations agreed upon in the company’s articles of partnership. If the partnership is located in the United States, then dissolution practices must also follow regulations set forth in the Uniform Partnership Act. The term may also refer to the legal termination of an organization’s existence.
