So common issues are, if owners are in a disagreement, oftentimes one of the owners – his or her employment is terminated.  And now they’re an owner who has no day-to-day communication with the company, and they want to be bought out.

If there’s not a good agreement in place, then the question becomes, “What’s the process for the buyout?  And what’s the process for valuing the shares?” That’s a very common dispute.  

Another dispute can arise where an owner of the company maybe goes and takes some corporate opportunities for herself or perhaps goes to work for a competitor.  And then that also is a very common form of shareholder dispute.
