CORPORATE LAW BASICS
Frequently asked questions for companies and shareholders
Which clauses in a shareholder agreement are most dispute-prone?
Severance provisions, majority requirements, non-compete clauses and squeeze-out clauses. Precise wording here prevents long subsequent disputes over valuation and validity.
How can resolutions be made legally secure?
Strictly observe formal, deadline and convocation requirements, circulate resolution drafts in advance and keep traceable minutes. Without this discipline, successful challenges to resolutions become much more likely.
Which obligations apply to me as managing director in a crisis?
Solvency and over-indebtedness must be monitored continuously. Crisis signals trigger heightened duty-of-care standards; delayed insolvency filing leads to personal liability and may entail criminal consequences.
