Maryland Shareholder Lawsuit Attorney

When you are a shareholder in a small corporation, your financial interests are dependent on many factors, including the actions of your fellow shareholders. Particularly if you are a minority shareholder or disagree with the direction of the company, you may feel powerless and concerned.

The stock of a public company can be easily bought and sold, but your interest in your family or closely-held business cannot. You must prevent that interest from being devalued. You may have the right to demand records and information that has been withheld from you. Do not be "frozen out" or allow your involvement to be minimized. Actions by the majority can be questioned, and you should not be merely pushed aside.

Shareholder Derivative Suits

Majority shareholders have a fiduciary duty to the corporation. If you feel the corporation is suffering due to actions of another party, including a majority shareholder, you may bring a shareholder lawsuit on behalf of the corporation. Frequently the managers and directors are majority shareholders. You are suing them on behalf of the larger company.

Liquidation

As a last resort, a company can be liquidated. If it is deadlocked or cannot be managed effectively or coherently, all shareholders may need to simply be compensated for their shares and the company liquidated. An attorney representing your interests can inform you of your options and demand that you are treated fairly.
