JOHN SHENK
Founding Partner
Mancini Shenk LLP
Mancini Shenk founding partner John W. Shenk is a litigator focused on shareholder and derivative, cannabis, and business disputes. With extensive experience in partnership disputes and the personal nature of fights within businesses, Shenk has come to refer to his specialty as “business divorce.”
Shenk helps his clients understand their rights and assert them effectively, whether they be partners, shareholders in a corporation, members of an LLC, or joint venturers. This often requires diplomatic negotiation or out of court arbitration. In others, it may demand bare-knuckled litigation. In all cases it is a strategic process he navigates with agility, finesse, and force when needed. Shenk has handled some of the most prominent shareholder and investor litigation in the legal cannabis industry. His successes on behalf of clients confronting managers intent upon self-dealing and, at times, outright fraud, place him at the forefront of litigation in the legal cannabis industry.
