Experience In A Broad Range Of Shareholder And Member Protection Litigation

Shareholders and members have a variety of rights as owners of a corporation or LLC, including:

• Derivative claims: Minority shareholders or members may bring suits on behalf of the corporation or LLC against insiders such as officers, directors, managing members and majority owners. Attorney fees are often available in these cases.
• Sharing in dividends: Shareholders of the same class of stock have a right to share in declared dividends.
• Inspection: Shareholders may have a right to inspect certain books and records.
• Appraisal: When an asset or business is sold, shareholders or members may have a right to obtain fair value of their shares or membership interests.

Our attorneys often represent minority partners, members and shareholders in claims of oppression and breach of contract against majority shareholders. For example, our attorneys represented a minority shareholder plaintiff in corporate dissolution proceeding involving appraisal of real estate and interest in business. The defendant’s appraisal was only 50 percent of our client’s appraisal. Our attorneys obtained 96 percent of our client’s higher appraised value.
