An equal partner is being maltreated by other partners. What to do?

Hello sir/madam,

Perhaps you can help me!

I am an equal partner in an LLC company. There are in total 3 partners. All of us are equal on the MOE (we are all managers).

While I was away on a vacation, the partners got together to try to push me out. They have done this by trying to make my life an uncomfortable nightmare in the office, blocking my work, started hiding emails, and instructing an employee of ours to do the same.

They also fired our accountant and moved our 4 years of books to a new accountant, who I've been told by them is "cleaning up". For 5 months, I've been getting excuses on why I have not been given access codes to see the new books or bank statements, etc.

I'm locked out of various platforms. I am very worried now as I'm also responsible for what they do. They cannot buy my shares and I am concerned that they are scheming a way to get rid of me in another way.

Can they shut down and open again for instance? What can you suggest about my rights here?

Thank you!

Dear questioner,

You must appoint an expert from the court to run this conflict between the three of you. The case will be focusing on investigating the managerial tasks done by both managers in your absence and also will be focusing on the blockage they are imposing against you.

Eventually, you need to issue an urgent order against them from the judge of the urgent matters so that you can gain your chair back.

Please let me know if you require further clarification, you can contact me via phone.

Thank you!

I don’t quite understand. Do you mean I need to hire a local litigation lawyer and go straight to court?

Would you mind letting me know what you suggest I should do next?

Thank you!

Good morning questioner,

I trust you are doing well.

Thanks for approaching us with your inquiry!

Regarding that, please note that you have the absolute legal right to sue your partners to get your benefits (shares) which they do not like to give you.

Moreover, you still have the absolute legal right to claim reasonable compensation from them regarding the harm they did to you and your losses as well.

Regarding firing the accountant, we are pretty sure that they did that in bad faith which will be in your favor in the end.

If we will sue them and file a civil case, we will ask the judge to appoint a legal expert who is authorized to get in touch with the banks and check the whole company's books even if they hide some of them or change the truth of the company income.

We recommend you to file a civil case instantly against them in order to SAVE YOUR POSITION and be away from any manipulation from their end.

14 Jun 2022, 02:56

In case you agree with the aforementioned, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.

Thanks and have a great day.
