Greenbaum represents both majority and minority business owners in shareholder disputes and partnership disputes. We act on behalf of majority and minority business owners in disputes involving business relationships and operations, including those related to business strategy and financial decisions, profit distribution, operational issues, departure or expulsion of a business owner, misappropriation of business assets, and the enforcement of shareholder or operating agreements and/or by-laws. We represent clients in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings including mediation and arbitration forums.
The firm defends companies and their constituents in breach of fiduciary duty claims concerning allegations of self-dealing or the misappropriation of business assets. Our team litigates claims of oppression, in which a minority shareholder claims that they were denied access to company information, restricted from management decision-making, deprived of their reasonable economic or financial expectations or wrongfully terminated. We also assist both majority and minority stakeholders in valuation, buy-out disputes, and contractual disagreements.
