As business partnerships grow and evolve, disputes between majority and minority owners can become legally and financially complex. This CLE explores the key legal protections afforded to minority interest holders within partnerships and closely held businesses. Attorneys advising either minority partners or majority stakeholders must understand how fiduciary duties, operating agreements, and state-specific statutory rights interact to shape the power dynamics and resolution options available. The program will cover typical forms of minority oppression, valuation disputes in forced exits or buyouts, and procedural remedies including derivative actions, judicial dissolution, and equitable relief. Emphasis will be placed on how to proactively structure partnership agreements to avoid common pitfalls and ensure enforceable dispute resolution mechanisms. Attendees will leave equipped to identify legal red flags, represent minority clients in contentious situations, and implement preventative strategies that withstand judicial scrutiny.
