Shareholder Oppression Attorney for South Carolina
The success or survival of a business often depends on mutual respect and trust. Once lost, problems follow. Dishonesty and greed can unravel business partnerships. Using the power of majority ownership, a majority stakeholder can deny the rights of minority shareholders. This may include:
- Terminating the Employment of a Minority Shareholder
- Wrongful Demotion of a Minority Shareholder
- Improper Removal of a Minority Shareholder from the Board of Directors
- Denying a Minority Shareholder Access to Information
- Awarding Disguised or De Facto Dividends to Majority Shareholders
- Recapitalization or Mergers that Reduce/Eliminate a Minority Shareholder’s Interest
- Misuse of Company Funds
- Excessive Salaries or Using Corporate Assets for Personal Benefits
- Oppressive Conduct at Board Meetings
If you are a part of a small business and your partners are trying to push you out, then you need an experienced advisor, and if necessary, a litigator on your side. Don’t wait until it’s too late; it’s never too early to know your options and legal rights.
