Re: corporate law

You ask a pretty broad question. Of course, when looking at rights, the first thing to do is to look at the organic documents (articles of organization, bylaws, and related agreements, including shareholders agreements). You can also look at G.L. 156D.

Beyond that, there is certainly case law shaping the foregoing. I assume that the question involves a company incorporated in Massachusetts versus Delaware or some other state.

Of course, this does not address underlying economic value of the going concern ...

If you would like to pursue the question further, please contact me.
