Shareholder Rights
Lanier Ford’s attorneys regularly advise and represent shareholders (minority and majority), officers, directors, and corporations in shareholder disputes, regardless of whether they are plaintiffs or defendants.

- Articles of incorporation.
- Certificates of incorporation.
- Shareholder or stockholder agreements.
- Bylaws.
- Buy-out and buy-sell agreements.

Similarly, in the area of limited liability companies, Lanier Ford attorneys also advise and represent clients who are members or managers of limited liability companies when they have these similar disputes in the operation and management of LLCs.
