Business disputes are personal. The partner who is not pulling their weight is often a friend. The customer who will not pay may be a neighbor. Kaden has handled both the defense and the prosecution of business claims across Alaska, and he understands that the goal is usually to get the problem resolved and get back to work.
Disputes Kaden handles
- LLC member and partner disputes
- Business dissolution and wind-down
- Buyouts and structured sales of a business
- Breach of contract claims (bringing and defending)
- Employee claims against employers, including unpaid wages and wrongful termination
- Non-compete and non-solicitation enforcement
- Fraud and misrepresentation in business deals
How Kaden approaches a business dispute
The first meeting is about the facts and the documents: the operating agreement, the contract, the messages. From there Kaden gives you an honest assessment of your position and the cost of each path. A demand letter resolves some disputes. Mediation resolves others. Some need a lawsuit. Clients consistently mention that he respects their budget, and that starts with not recommending litigation that is not worth it.
Claims against a former employer
Alaska is an at-will employment state, but employers still cannot fire someone for an illegal reason, withhold earned wages or overtime, or retaliate against an employee who reports wrongdoing. Kaden represents employees in wage claims, wrongful termination, and disputes over final pay and commissions.
“They broke down the realities of my situation and offered practical, strategic options. Absolute honesty, integrity, and respect for my budget.”
“Responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain each step clearly, which made a stressful situation much easier.”
Business Disputes questions
My business partner stopped contributing. What are my options?
It depends on your operating agreement. It may allow you to buy them out, remove them, or dissolve the company. If there is no agreement, Alaska's LLC statute governs, and the options are narrower. Kaden can review your situation and lay out the realistic paths.
How long does a business lawsuit take in Alaska?
A contested civil case in Alaska Superior Court often takes a year or more to get to trial. Most cases settle before that. Kaden will discuss timelines and settlement opportunities with you throughout.
