Shareholder Squeeze Outs

When business owners separate, when shareholders “divorce,” the term squeeze out is sometimes applied to the dispute. Specifically, a squeeze out occurs when majority shareholders try to get at the shares of the minority. There are numerous complexities and facets to minority oppression and shareholder disputes.

We represent shareholders and owners of other closely held businesses wishing to separate in both litigation and negotiated separation agreements.
