Partnerships, started in the flush of a new idea and lots of capital, can quickly or slowly turn sour. When partners no longer get along, or sometimes even speak to each other, how can they run the business? How can they minimize the damage of ending the relationship, a dilemma even more complex when partners are related to each other?

Landlords and tenants can disagree about everything from how the loud the radio should be to whether the pipes in the bathroom need replacing. Buyers and sellers of real property have questions about bids, offers, sales and guarantees.

Usually all of these issues come under the category “contracts” – how to make them, how to break them, and what to do when you are caught in the middle of one.

At Adel & Pollack, our first goal is always to stop the problem before it begins. How many times we have said to clients: If only you had called us before things got this bad. We often counsel business people on how to get through some tricky transition areas without winding up with a lawsuit.

When it comes to business litigation, Adel & Pollack’s first motto is – try to avoid it. Drafting contracts that have solutions built in to them is a good start toward avoiding litigation. Advising folks during the formation and the winding down of business relationship is another way Adel & Pollack keeps its clients out of the courtroom.

But, when litigation cannot be avoided, Nancy Adel & Barry Pollack are experienced at presenting their clients’ positions in the most favorable light possible. Litigating tough while remaining open and accessible to alternative solutions to complex problems is the key to success.
