Media Business Attorney Discusses Majority Shareholder Splitting from Business Partner

 Delaware County Business Attorney Discusses Majority Shareholder Splitting from Business PartnerAs a experienced Media Business Attorney, I get questions all the time from clients about majority shareholder wanting to break up with their business partner. If I’m the majority owner of a company, I have control and control is key. It means that I have voting privileges either by way of a stock corporation agreement, a membership agreement, or a partnership agreement previously agreed with my other partner. That says this is the way we’re going to run this company and this is the manner in which we’re going to run it. It’s usually done by the majority vote. It can be set up by corporation officers and directors. The individual who controls the majority controls the future of the company.

At that point in time the individual who has control, if there’s an agreement in place he can implement the agreement and say I have XYZ percentage of control and you do not. We’ve decided that now that your shares are going to be valued and you’re going to be exiting from the company. At that point in time, the issue becomes how do I value the shares and then move into the valuation process. This could be by the way of the agreement we’ve entered into during the course of the year or it could be by a third party appraisal either through the value of the company by an appraiser agreement or some other formula that’s set forth in our agreements.

If you have any questions about majority shareholders breaking up with business partners, please contact our Media Business Attorneys for a free case evaluation.

Client Reviews

“I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.”
