Handling Shareholder Disputes In Orange County, California

Shareholder disputes often occur in closely held corporations. Most of these disputes can be resolved among the shareholders with little, if any, assistance from attorneys. Unfortunately, sometimes the disputes cannot be resolved without the help of counsel. Lay people do not understand the strict requirements placed on shareholders by the California Corporations Code. Accordingly, sometimes well-meaning individuals in control of a company can take decisive actions that expose the company and management to liability and even punitive damages.

Sometimes heavy-handed, controlling shareholders overstep their authority either through aggressive actions designed to wrest control from minority members or to divert money to themselves. In such cases, minority members must act quickly and decisively to protect their interests.
