Derivative Action

Experienced derivative action trial lawyers

As a shareholder of a company, you have certain legal rights—and if the company's management or leadership violates these rights, harming the company in the process, you may be able to file a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the company against its executives, board members, or other officials. Taking this action can protect the company and its shareholders while financially penalizing the company's leadership for its wrongdoing. 



Derivative lawsuits can be complex, and it's important to take action quickly to help prevent further harm to the corporation and its shareholders. Some examples of situations in which a derivative lawsuit may be an option include: 

• Willful mismanagement of the company or its assets
• Insider dealing
• Conflicts of interest
• Fraud (including the falsification of records to the SEC or other regulatory bodies)
• Selling the company for too little
• Purchasing or acquiring another company for too much
• Making material misrepresentations to shareholders or the public
