Disputes among co-owners of businesses and real estate require strategic claim selection, document analysis, and careful litigation management. Whether the matter involves a partition action, a corporate dissolution, a derivative lawsuit, or an heir property dispute under RPAPL 993, choosing the correct procedural vehicle can determine leverage, remedies, and ultimate value.

In this one-hour CLE, attendees will learn how to differentiate between direct and derivative claims, analyze partition eligibility (including heirs property under the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act), evaluate the availability of receivership, and identify critical governing documents that shape litigation outcomes. The program also addresses client management during active co-ownership disputes, mandatory ADR considerations, business devaluation risks, and ethical boundaries when representing entities versus individual stakeholders.

This course is designed for litigators, real estate attorneys, business attorneys, and general practitioners handling ownership disputes involving corporations, LLCs, and co-owned real estate.
