Trusts & Estates Litigation

Family and Closely Held Company Litigation
Many Hawaii family businesses that have been led into the next successive family generation of owners inevitably incur protracted, emotional, and complex family disputes within the organization. When this occurs, it is imperative that the involved family members get experienced and competent legal representation that can represent family members/owners in either mediated settlements or, in some cases, court-involved litigation. We represent corporation, partnerships, limited liability companies, as well as individual shareholders, officers, and managers.
