Wooden McLaughlin’s shareholder-dispute attorneys are experienced in the representation of closely-held companies and owners in connection with business disputes. While business owners primarily focus on working diligently to build their businesses, disagreements among owners can arise to cause harm to the long-term prospects and viability of the company. Our attorneys have in-depth knowledge of Indiana law regarding shareholder and other business owner disputes. We put this knowledge to work crafting workable and cost-effective solutions for our clients. However, if a matter cannot be amicably settled, then our business attorneys rely on the significant trial experience of our litigators to aggressively represent our clients in these often-complex cases.

• Self-dealing and breaches of fiduciary duty by Officers, Directors or Managers
• Management deadlocks
• Entity restructuring
• Redemptions and liquidations
• Dissenting shareholder rights
• Buy-out agreements
• Change-of-control transactions
• Squeeze-outs
