Resolve Business Partnership Disputes in Queensland | Bennett Carroll Solicitors

Business Partnership Disputes

CONTACT US
When a business partnership breaks down, it can be more complex and more personal than many expect. Disputes between partners can put your business, finances, and even your reputation at risk. Whether you’re dealing with a falling-out, unclear agreements, or unfair treatment, it’s critical to get legal advice early.
At Bennett Carroll Solicitors, we are your legal problem solvers in resolving business partnership disputes across Queensland. With physical offices in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Ipswich, and the ability to handle your matter by phone, email, or video, we make accessing legal support easy—no matter where you are. We can even come to you, if needed.

What is a Business Partnership dispute?

A partnership dispute can arise over disagreements around:

  • Profits and losses

  • Roles and responsibilities

  • Decision-making power

  • Exit strategies or retirement

  • Buyouts and valuation

  • Misuse of partnership assets or breach of agreement

  • Family law issues involving shared businesses

Disputes are especially common when no formal partnership agreement is in place—or when an agreement hasn’t kept pace with business changes.

How We Help Resolve Business Disputes

Our team provides strategic legal guidance tailored to your situation. We assist with:

  • Partnership disputes and exits

  • Drafting or reviewing Partnership Agreements

  • Buyout negotiations and valuations

  • Mediation or litigation strategies

  • Business separation during divorce or family breakdown

  • Shareholder disputes (including in family-run businesses or private companies)

  • Succession planning or retirement transitions
