Shareholder Disputes

Business Partnership Disputes

Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Certain employees within a company are exposed to sensitive documents, which allows them access to information that may be vital to the business’s survival. These employees owe the business a “fiduciary duty,” given the business is particularly vulnerable to their use of business information. Some examples of such employees are officers, directors, and partners in a business.
Employees who carry fiduciary duties are expected to act honestly and with reasonable diligence in the best interests of the business. This means they cannot abuse their unique power over the business interests to enrich themselves or engage in behaviour that could foreseeably cause the business harm. Click here for more.
Directors and Officers’ Liability
Directors and officers of a corporation have a broad responsibility to act reasonably, in good faith, and in a corporation’s best interest when managing the business and affairs of the company. As fiduciaries, they are expected to put the needs of the company above their own and to follow all applicable bylaws. To see how a litigation lawyer can help, click here.
Intentional Interference with Economic Relations
The tort of unlawful interference with economic relations typically occurs in 3-party situations where someone tries to harm your business by intentionally engaging in illegal or unlawful conduct towards a third-party resulting in economic losses to you. Click here for more.
Oppression Remedy
The oppression remedy is a legal mechanism that allows shareholders or other stakeholders of a corporation to bring a claim against other shareholders, the corporation, its directors, its officers, or any of their affiliates for oppressive conduct. Oppressive conduct refers to any improper, unlawful, or bad faith conduct that violates the reasonable interests of any shareholder, such as a breach of fiduciary duty, improper or illegal conduct, or even discriminatory treatment.
The oppression remedy can be a powerful tool for shareholders or other stakeholders who feel they have been unfairly treated by other stakeholders, the company, or the company’s management. However, it can also be a complex and difficult process to navigate without the help of an experienced commercial litigation lawyer.
Contract Disputes
Contract disputes can arise in a variety of contexts, such as employment relationships, service contracts, and vendor contracts, among others. These disputes can involve a range of issues, including breach of contract, interpretation of contract terms, and performance issues.
Intellectual Property Disputes
Intellectual property disputes can arise when another party infringes upon a business’s intellectual property rights. These disputes can involve a range of issues, including copyright infringement, trademark infringement, passing off, patent infringement, and misappropriation of trade secrets.
Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance is an important aspect of running a business. Failure to comply with applicable regulations can result in fines, penalties, and other legal consequences.
