Written for both the expert and the initiate, this book not only reviews the legal framework for derivative actions but also provides a practical guide to the application of legal principles. Shareholder Derivative Litigation: Besieging the Board reviews each of the legal doctrines relevant to derivative actions, including the demand and standing requirements, potential board responses to demands, the use of special litigation committees, procedural issues in derivative litigation and the business judgment rule's application to derivative litigation.
This comprehensive legal study features an up-to-date listing of state derivative action statutes and rules, plus analysis of other significant developments, such as recent case law concerning the demand requirement. It also delivers a wealth of useful working tools, including an easy to follow flow chart, relevant code sections and model forms.
