What Causes A Shareholder Dispute?
There are many things that can potentially cause a shareholder dispute. Generally, a shareholder dispute arises when one shareholder believes they have been wronged by the actions of other shareholders. This can occur when minority shareholders disagree with the actions of majority shareholders. Disputes also commonly arise when two shareholders each hold 50% of the voting shares of the corporation, and there is no agreement in place that addresses how decisions will be made when a disagreement occurs.
Whatever the reason, you need a shareholder dispute lawyer who is experienced with shareholder disputes when these situations arise. Gravitas Légal has over a decade of experience handling these types of issues, and we can help you fight to protect your legal rights.
Resolving Shareholder Disputes
One of the best ways to resolve shareholder disputes is to avoid them in the first place. Ensuring that thorough shareholder agreements are in place can help avoid disputes, and these agreements may need to be amended or updated each time a new director or shareholder comes on board. Gravitas Légal is known for being extremely thorough and detail-oriented, and we can help you put agreements in place that avoid conflicts down the road.
Additionally, shareholders have a right to request company records. If you believe you have been wronged, you should always exert your right to review the books and financial records of the company, as these records can play a key role in your claim going forward. Finally, the Business Corporations Act lists many potential remedies for shareholders who have been wronged. Contact our office today to let us listen to your situation, develop the best plan forward, and help protect your rights.
