What is Alternative Dispute Resolution? (Hint: Arbitration and Mediation)

Posted on July 21, 2015February 12, 2026 By Jay Young No Comments on What is Alternative Dispute Resolution? (Hint: Arbitration and Mediation)

 

When people are attacked, the natural reaction is to attack back.

Injunctive Relief in Nevada

Posted on June 19, 2015January 9, 2024 By Jay Young No Comments on Injunctive Relief in Nevada

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION

In Nevada, in order to obtain a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction, generally, the following are considered by the courts:

  1. A party must demonstrate that it has a reasonable probability of success on the merits of its underlying claims;
  2. Without injunctive relief, plaintiff will suffer irreparable harm for which compensatory damages are inadequate;
  3. The court may weigh the public’s interest in seeing the harm stopped, as well as the relative hardships of the parties should the court take or refuse to take action; and
  4. The purpose of the restraining order/injunction is to preserve the status quo, or to “preserve a business or property interest.” Buion v. Terra Mktg. of Nev., Inc., 90 Nev. 237, 240, 523 P.2d 847, 848 (1974).
  5. Imposition of a bond is required by NRCP 65(c).

The Buy-Sell Agreement is Arguably The Most Important and Most Overlooked Business Agreement
The Buy-Sell Agreement is Arguably The Most Important and Most Overlooked Business Agreement

Buy-sell agreements can alleviate disputes that can arise between or among owners and can provide for payments to buy out an owner’s interest in the business at an owner’s death or disability without disrupting the ongoing business.   It can avoid family fights, fights between surviving owners and the deceased owner’s spouse, while maintaining the integrity of the company’s goodwill and liquidity. They are an essential part of proper corporate governance for any closely held business. If an owner is unable to continue in the business, the agreement triggers the sale of that owner’s portion of the company at a price designated in the agreement.
