These are anonymized examples from recent business partner disputes. Every demand letter is drafted by me personally, not by AI and not by a paralegal.
Partner withdrew $85,000 from the LLC operating account without authorization. I cited UPA §401 and the operating agreement's distribution provisions. Attached a draft breach of fiduciary duty complaint.
Departing co-founder took the customer database and proprietary pricing model. Demand letter cited CUTSA (California Uniform Trade Secrets Act) and the non-compete clause in the operating agreement.
Operating agreement required members to contribute additional capital when called. One member refused the $50,000 call. I cited the operating agreement's dilution clause and attached a draft breach of contract complaint.
Managing partner stonewalled silent partner's requests for financial records. I cited UPA §403 (inspection rights) and the operating agreement's quarterly reporting requirement.
Business partner disputes take many forms. Here are the most common issues I handle in demand letters.
Email me the operating agreement, LLC agreement, or partnership agreement. Explain what your partner did and what you want (money, exit, accounting, etc.).
I review the operating agreement to identify the specific provisions your partner violated. I calculate damages and identify all applicable legal claims.
I write the demand letter on firm letterhead citing the breached provisions and state partnership law. I attach a draft lawsuit showing I am prepared to file immediately if your partner does not respond.
The demand letter and draft lawsuit are sent via FedEx with signature confirmation. You receive tracking information and a copy of everything sent.
Send me your operating agreement and dispute details. I will confirm the fee and what I need from you.

"My business partner took unauthorized draws from the company account. Sergei drafted a demand letter citing our operating agreement and attached a draft lawsuit. My partner's attorney called within 3 days and we settled for full repayment plus interest. Worth every penny."
"One of our LLC members refused to honor the buy-sell agreement when another member wanted to exit. Sergei analyzed the operating agreement, calculated the buyout price, and sent a demand letter with a draft complaint. The holdout member agreed to the buyout within 10 days."
"My co-founder left the company and immediately started a competing business in violation of our operating agreement. Sergei sent a demand letter with a TRO draft attached. The competing business was shut down within a week and we settled for $20K in damages."
My business partner demand letters include: attorney-drafted letter on firm letterhead, operating agreement analysis, breach identification and damages calculation, state-specific partnership law citations, draft lawsuit attached to the demand letter, FedEx certified mail delivery, and 2 rounds of Q&A.
Standard turnaround is 3-5 business days. Rush service (24-48 hours) is available for an additional $150. I will confirm the timeline after reviewing your operating agreement and dispute details.
I handle operating agreement breaches, profit distribution disputes, capital call defaults, fiduciary duty violations, unauthorized transactions, partnership dissolution disputes, buy-sell agreement disputes, and non-compete violations by departing partners.
Yes. I need to review your operating agreement, LLC agreement, or partnership agreement to identify the specific provisions your partner breached. If you operate without a written agreement, I will cite the default rules under your state's partnership law (typically the Uniform Partnership Act or Revised Uniform Partnership Act).
The draft lawsuit shows your partner (and their attorney, if they have one) that you are prepared to file immediately if they do not respond. It demonstrates that this is not an idle threat. In my experience, attaching a draft complaint significantly increases the response rate and settlement likelihood.
If your partner does not respond within the deadline (typically 14-21 days), you have several options: file the lawsuit that was attached to the demand letter, engage me for further representation, or negotiate separately. The demand letter and draft lawsuit are yours to use however you see fit.
