Corporate litigation,[object Object],Members of a company generally have rights against each other and against the company, as framed under the company's constitution. In relation to the exercise of their rights, minority shareholders usually have to accept that, because of the limits of their voting rights, they cannot direct the overall control of the company and must accept the will of the majority (often expressed as majority rule). However, majority rule can be iniquitous, particularly where there is one controlling shareholder.,[object Object]
Accordingly, a number of exceptions have developed in law in relation to the general principle of majority rule.,[object Object],Where the majority shareholder(s) are exercising their votes to perpetrate a fraud on the minority, the courts may permit the minority to sue,[object Object],members always retain the right to sue if the majority acts to invade their personal rights, e.g. where the company's affairs are not conducted in accordance with the company's constitution ,[object Object]
Corporation litigation is the area of business law that involves providing counsel and legal representation in lawsuits to business enterprises. ,[object Object],Plaintiffs and defendants of corporate litigation often range from business partnerships to international corporations, as well as those who work for those organizations or owe a fiduciary duty to them or benefit from them.  ,[object Object]
Corporate litigation lawyers are trial lawyers who initiate civil lawsuits or defend clients in cases brought against them.,[object Object],A corporate lawyer is also often trained to handle matters outside of court by representing clients in alternative dispute resolution or settlement. Some of the litigation matters associated with corporate litigation are breaches of contract, employment relations, and regulatory compliance.,[object Object]
Some of the parties to corporate litigation include shareholders, members, and directors,[object Object],Corporation litigation is also an enforcement tool that many businesses use.,[object Object]
