Charleston Business Dispute Attorneys

Assisting Companies in Charleston, Summerville, and Beyond

The saying, “It’s not personal, it’s just business” does not apply to those who work tirelessly to build and sustain their own business. Business is personal. That is truer today than ever. Whether your business is large or small, Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, P.A. understands that every problem impacting your bottom line “high-stakes.” Our Charleston business lawyers have the experience and attention to detail necessary to provide the help you need when you need it. We know an ounce of prevention goes a long way. By getting to know your business and your specific goals, we can help identify and mitigate risks before they turn into much larger problems. When major issues do arise, our seasoned Charleston, business litigators understand the importance of developing a strategy with your unique goals in mind and plotting a course to help you obtain them. Whether a swift and efficient resolution is the goal, or complex litigation lies ahead, our team of Charleston business dispute lawyers are equipped to manage our clients’ legal issues so they can stay focused on their businesses and families.

Often, our Charleston, SC, business lawyers find that problems arise from within. Disagreements involving employees, partners, and shareholders can boil over quickly, threatening the livelihood and assets of the business. Another common source of disputes arises when controlling owners in a business are seen as taking advantage of minority owners in violation of their rights. If left unresolved, these disagreements can lead to bitter lawsuits that could result in dissolution and other costly remedies. Where possible, the Charleston business dispute attorneys at Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, P.A. enjoy finding creative solutions to these matters that allow the business to continue and thrive. When that is not possible, our litigators, led by Michael Timbes, have the experience and talent to build and present your case at all phases of trial and on appeal.

Contract Drafting and Negotiation for South Carolina Businesses

Not all contracts perform as expected. Many contract disputes develop because the contract in question is unclear about who is right, who is wrong, and what should happen. When a well-written contract clearly explains the rights and responsibilities of the parties, simply enforcing its terms can avoid a lot of time, hassle, and expense when things go wrong. However, all too often a business dispute arises and the contract is capable of more than one understanding, or worse, the contract does not address the situation at all. When this happens, the disagreement can turn costly, time consuming, and even result in a lawsuit. At Thurmond Kirchner & Timbes, P.A., we get to know you and your business so that we can customize the important details of the transaction so that your interests are well protected, allowing you to get back to work.
