Your business’s shareholders have a vested interest in the success of your enterprise, and, depending on your operating agreement, may have very vocal input into operations, growth, and reinvesting in the business. Shareholders also have a reasonable expectation that your company’s C-Suite officers and other leaders fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities. When this doesn’t happen, or when shareholders disagree over other decisions, the only resolution sometimes comes through legal action. The team at Mahdavi, Bacon, Halfhill & Young, PLLC represents both business owners and shareholders in disputes, helping you reach a workable solution. Call our Herndon, VA shareholder dispute lawyer today.
Shareholder Dispute Lawyer Herndon, VA
A dispute between groups of shareholders, or between shareholders and company officers, can grind the efficient operation of your business to a halt. As a business owner, it’s frustrating when your investors don’t see your vision for the enterprise and initiate legal action to stop you. Our legal team can assess your situation and advise you of potential legal options open to you.
If you’re a shareholder who suspects something is amiss with the company, like comingling of funds or abandonment of fiduciary duty, it’s important to take action right away. If the company leadership doesn’t address the issue (or if they’re the problem), our Herndon shareholder dispute lawyer can help you take the right steps to preserve the integrity of the company and your own financial investment.
As professional litigators, our attorneys are comfortable at trial or in alternative dispute resolution sessions, such as arbitration or mediation. First, we discuss possible outcomes to the situation and your preferred resolution, advising you of the steps we’ll need to take to achieve your desired outcome. Then, we build a case supporting your position, based on evidence and testimony from those involved or witnesses to the bad actions. We’re prepared if the matter proceeds to mediation, if your operational agreement requires arbitration, or if the case is taken to civil court. And, if you’re owed damages due to the actions or negligence of the other party, we prepare our argument for the full amount and fight for every penny you’re owed.
