FAQ
When is a shareholder consent required?
Shareholder consent is typically required for fundamental changes to the corporation, such as amending the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, selling substantially all company assets, merging, or dissolving the company.
What's the difference between board consent and shareholder consent?
The Board of Directors manages the day-to-day business. Shareholders own the company. While the board approves most actions, the most significant, company-altering decisions must also be approved by the shareholders.
What happens if we don't get shareholder consent?
The action can be deemed void or voidable. Dissenting shareholders could sue the company or its directors, leading to costly legal disputes and potentially unwinding the transaction.
Do all shareholders need to sign?
It depends on your company's bylaws and the relevant state law. Sometimes a majority is sufficient, while other actions may require a supermajority or unanimous consent. My drafting will reflect the appropriate legal standard.
Can you help determine if I need a shareholder consent?
While I can draft the document, determining the necessity for one in your specific situation constitutes legal advice. This gig is for clients who have already determined the need for a specific shareholder consent document.
