Avoiding Corporate Divorce

On Behalf of | Aug 12, 2009 | BLOG, NEWS ARTICLE

The presentation will discuss the destruction and turmoil that an unprepared company may face during times of sudden change. As companies and business owners face personnel changes, deaths and executive disagreements, they are often faced with governance documents which don’t properly provide for such situations. This can unfortunately lead to a corporate divorce thereby destroying a legacy, wealth, and placing loyal employees out of work or in the midst of utter turmoil. If properly planned, many companies, their principals and families and employees can avoid such ugly, unnecessary and debilitating litigation.

This workshop will address the pitfalls of the unprepared corporate entity and discuss several recent cases.  Specific topics include:

  • Voluntary and Involuntary Executive Withdrawal
  • Death and Disability of Principals
  • Proper Corporate Documentation and Control
  • Recent Litigation and Case Studies
