Date/Time

About the Webinar

Disputes between majority and minority shareholders are a frequent risk in private companies, but the law offers an array of tools to protect minority rights. In this session, attendees will learn how to leverage statutory remedies, shareholder agreements, and strategic litigation options to safeguard the interests of minority shareholders, including:

  • Sources of shareholder rights: Corporations Act, constitutions, shareholder agreements, and trust deeds
  • Overview of legal remedies: statutory derivative actions, oppression proceedings, and breach of constitution claims
  • Practical considerations when deciding between selling shares, winding up the company, or litigation
  • Risks and rewards of escalating disputes to litigation versus negotiated outcomes
  • Best practices for minority shareholders to protect their interests early and effectively
