Review of Challenged Board Decisions

In corporate litigation, the available rights and remedies turn on provable facts and the governing corporate documents. Board decisions may raise issues of authority, conflicts of interest, procedure or harm to the company. Review begins with the actual resolution and its context.

What to keep in mind

Examine notices, minutes, information considered, votes, financial impact and the availability of suitable corporate or judicial remedies.

A disagreement with business judgment alone does not prove illegality.

Distinctions often confused

Challenging a board decision and challenging a shareholders' meeting resolution follow different legal paths.

Frequently asked questions
