Shareholder Disputes
Where shareholders (i.e. the collective owners of a corporation) feel that the company has not been acting in their best interests, they are entitled to enforce their legal rights against those who make decisions for the company. This can be done through:
- enforcement of an existing shareholder agreement
- shareholder oppression claims
- the exercise of dissent rights
- the triggering of contractual buy-out/valuation clauses (including “shotgun” clauses)
At Ryan Howard Law Firm in Brampton, we pride ourselves on building strong, long-term relationships with each of our clients. Our commercial lawyers work tirelessly to ensure our clients’ interests and goals are protected and that disputes are resolved quickly and efficiently.
