In British Columbia and across Canada, minority shareholders are entitled to certain rights. As a minority shareholder, you have the right to attend meetings, to vote, and to have access to information.

At Jack Wang Law Office, we are well-versed in minority shareholder disputes and oppression remedies. In situations where there are concerns about oppression, we will carefully review the facts and strategically determine the best course of action. While we endeavour to reach a resolution through mediation or other methods of alternative dispute resolution, we are prepared to vigorously advocate for you in court to achieve the best possible outcome.

For 50/50 shareholders, disputes can result in the disruption of day-to-day operations and result in long-term profit loss. In order to mitigate potential damage, it is critical to work proactively and strategically. We will provide a candid assessment of the situation and help determine the best course of action. No two shareholder disputes are the same, making it important to tailor the solution to meet your business’s needs.

In certain cases, it may be necessary to use a derivative action to resolve a shareholder dispute. Under these circumstances, an action is advanced by a shareholder on behalf of the corporation if the corporation itself is unwilling to bring the action. At Jack Wang Law Office, we have extensive experience with derivative actions and will work with you to determine whether the solution is right for your circumstances.
