Is my business partner allowed to use all of our income and put it into his new business?

In Panama

Last Updated: Sep 9, 2025

My partner and have a 50/50 partnership in a corporation selling Trucks. He is now saying that all the income from the sale of the trucks should be his, since he is doing most of the work in getting clients. Is this legal?

Hola, ¿cómo estás? Si ambos son accionistas, es fundamental que exista claridad y consenso respecto a las ganancias y decisiones de la empresa. Para proteger sus intereses y evitar futuros conflictos, siempre recomendamos formalizar un acuerdo de accionistas o de socios.

Estos acuerdos establecen de manera clara los derechos, obligaciones y beneficios de cada parte, brindando seguridad jurídica y estabilidad a la empresa.

Si te interesa, puedo orientarte y preparar una propuesta personalizada para tu caso. Por favor, envíame un correo a moisesalvarado@panleb.com y con gusto te ayudo a estructurar todo de la mejor manera.

Hello! We would have to check the partnership agreement ? What does it allow partners to do?  Are they forbidding from setting up competing businesses?
How many hours is the partner working “getting clients”?  Did the other partner authorize this?
Who pays business expenses?  Contact us at info@ laglawyers.com with the relevant documents and we can provide a quote to provide options to reverse this
