Important Considerations for Shareholder Disputes in New York City
Due to their potential implications, shareholder disputes require a forward-thinking approach and a resolution strategy custom-tailored to the circumstances at hand. This is true whether your ultimate goal is to save the business or sever your relationship with your fellow shareholders.
Shareholder disputes present a variety of potential issues, and when facing a dispute, the shareholder agreement is the first place to look for guidance. Regardless of your ultimate goal, it will be necessary to examine the shareholder agreement to see what it says about issues including:
- Shareholder Rights and Obligations – In many (but not all) cases, shareholder disputes can be resolved by ensuring that all parties accurately understand their respective rights and obligations.
- Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – Many shareholder agreements contain mandatory ADR provisions that require shareholders to pursue mediation or arbitration (or both) before going to court.
- Remedies – Many shareholder agreements contain provisions that limit or specify the remedies that are available to the shareholders in the event of a dispute as well.
- Valuation – When it is in one or more shareholders’ best interests to part ways, the shareholder agreement’s valuation provisions (if any) will play a key role in determining the shareholders’ respective financial rights.
- Dissolution – Shareholder agreements also frequently contain provisions that call for dissolution (or provide guidelines for dissolution) in the event of an impasse. These provisions will play a central role in many shareholder disputes.
These are just a small sampling of the issues that can (and often will) arise in shareholder disputes.
