Re: buy sell partnership

Thank you for your question.

The circumstance you have described could cause serious problems, but many more facts are required to evaluate the issue. A great deal depends on the nature of the LLC agreement, and any related agreements between the partners. It also depends on the nature of the business, the type of customers and the relationship of each partner with the customers. Is the partner who sold out engaging in a similar business, and maybe soliciting the same customers?

Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. My contact information is below.

It COULD cause major problems, depending on the status of the LLC documents and contracts. Is there a Buy-Sell agreement? How about Member Operating agreement?
