Minority Shareholders Interests
California laws are written to level the playing field for minority interests however “freeze outs” and bullying actions by majority shareholders and corporate managers still take place. Minority shareholders have many rights under California law including the right to inspect the books and other important corporate documents and information.
Minority shareholders may be adversely affected by corporate decisions that will negatively impact their own interests. You may be required to exercise your “appraisal rights” in the event of certain actions such as a merger, exchange of shares, sale of assets or a buyout. Recent decisions by the California Court of Appeals have supported the ability to set aside or rescind invalid corporate actions or transactions. The Watkins Firm will aggressively protect your interests and work to hold the majority interest to the high standards of California law while seeking to negotiate a path to resolving shareholder disputes in San Diego.
When negative decisions are being implemented by the Board of Directors or Corporate Officers a shareholder may bring a derivative lawsuit against the officers or Board on behalf of the company itself. These cases require extensive legal expertise and skill, and the Watkins Firm has extensive experience in these cases.
