Description
On this episode, host Michael Clear is joined by Wiggin and Dana Litigation Partner Joseph Merschman. Joe and Michael explore the concept of “business divorce,” referring to conflicts among co-owners of closely held companies. These disputes often arise from family tensions, unequal contributions, or shifts in the business’s direction. The episode highlights the importance of involving legal counsel early in the process, as most cases are typically settled, often through buyouts or even the sale of the business.
