Derivative Actions

Derivative Actions is a legal proceeding in which a shareholder brings a lawsuit on behalf of a corporation to enforce a right or remedy a wrong that primarily belongs to the company, typically when the corporation’s management has failed or refused to act, thereby allowing the shareholder to pursue redress for harm to the corporate entity rather than for direct personal injury.
