Shareholder Disputes

Corporate control issues can potentially debilitate a corporation and compromise its viability. Ownership, membership and shareholder disputes are among the main corporate control problems faced by businesses large and small. In cases of disputes arising between shareholders, it is imperative to seek attorneys experienced in handling such matters. The attorneys of Sauerwein Simon P.C. are regularly engaged to represent corporations, limited liability companies, their members and shareholders in disputes, frequently aiding in the buyout of a withdrawing member’s or partner’s interest, or handling disputes arising from stock repurchase agreements.

A shareholder dispute can be very complex, involving matters such as: allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty, questions regarding the buy-out value of a shareholder’s interest, restrictions on stock transfers, and the necessity for confidentiality agreements, return of protected or proprietary information, and non-compete agreements.
