Techniques to Avoid and Resolve Deadlocks In Closely Held Companies
Access Timely Topics and National Experts with CBA-CLE 1-Hour Audio Webcasts
Program Description
One of the biggest threats to a closely held company is the risk of dispute among the members of its ownership group. The members may disagree about a major company transaction, the strategic direction of the company, distribution practices, or simply develop ruinous inter-personal issues. In closely held companies that are held by a single family, disputes are particularly personal, often arising when members of a junior generation succeed to the interests and leadership role of a senior generation. Unless these disputes are carefully channeled into dispute resolution mechanisms, the stability and financial success of the company is threatened. This program will provide you with a guide to the sources of disputes in closely held companies and mechanisms for resolution, with an emphasis using buy/sell agreements to resolve disputes.
