Calgary Shareholder Lawyer

DELUSIONAL SHAREHOLDER

Whether you are an equal shareholder or a minority shareholder, if there is another shareholder in the company that is seeking to improperly exert their influence over the company to your personal detriment or such shareholder is delusional, paranoid, bipolar, psychotic or otherwise mentally unstable, you need to assert legal control over your stake in the business. Power hungry and/or delusional shareholders tend to exert harmful influence over the company's operations and finances. They also tend to disrespect their fellow shareholders, not engaging them in corporate decisions and seek to cut them out of profits that they believe they are solely responsible for creating.

Such overly aggressive shareholders can not be allowed to operate unchecked, as this will only destroy shareholder value and become the impetus for even more serious legal action. Instead, knowledgeable legal counsel should be engaged early on and the situation brought under control. For most of these overly aggressive and problematic shareholders fail to realize the extent of the controls that they are obliged to observe, for it is in not observe those rules and obligations that they have built up their power. Yet it is power that is derived from a failure to follow laws, regulations, corporate by-laws and contractual agreements (i.e. a unanimous shareholders agreement). Alternatively, though an equally serious predicament, is that of a shareholder who is delusional, paranoid, bipolar, psychotic or otherwise mentally unstable. As such, engaging the appropriate lawyer will allow you to correct this situation and gain control over your shareholding and the legal protections that arise therefrom.
