Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
Resigning from the Company during a litigation
Is it possible to resign as a partner from a company when there is a litigation currently active? I was not aware of some of the dealing of my other partner and was decieved within several business dealings.
I have been placed within the civil suit as an individual also. I have yet to talk to counsel about this. I just wanted to know if I could resign, since the company is no longer active doind business and remove any future liability if any would exist with ou my knowledge.

Re: Resigning from the Company during a litigation
You can resign (and you probably should if staying will expose you to future liability), but it probably won't get you dismissed from the lawsuit. You should certainly see a lawyer right away.
