Sanders v. Kirkland & Co.

This action arises out of a former business relationship between Bertram L. Sanders II and the accounting firm of Kirkland Company ("Kirkland"), which was an Alabama general partnership. Sanders filed this action against Kirkland and the equity partners of Kirkland ("defendants"). Sanders contends that he was an equity partner in Kirkland, and the issues before the trial court were breach of the partnership agreement by the defendants, wrongful termination of Sanders as a partner, and fraud by defendants in representing to Sanders that he would have a vested interest in the partnership assets.
