Legal Question in Business Law in California

Disoulution of partnership

I am currently in the process of dissolving a business partnership. We have both agreed to this dissolution, yet my partner has been unavailable and has ignored my attempts at communication. My first question concerns what time frame you would consider reasonable before it is legally considered "abandonment of partnership," and I am no longer legally bound to the contract of our relationship.

What legal remedies do I have?

Re: Disoulution of partnership

The important question, of course, is what a judge would consider "reasonable." This can vary widely depending upon the circumstances, the wording of the partnership agreement and the personality of the judge you draw. If you think your partner is being unreasonable, you may be able to convince a judge that you are right.

You may have a cause of action for breach of contract. Call me at (650) 938-3536 to discuss your case in more detail.
