More cases by Jop
- ECLI:NL:GHAMS:2020:3620, Gerechtshof Amsterdam, 200.263.809/01 OK
This case involved proceedings that Jop initiated on behalf of the minority shareholder to suspend or dismiss the OK director. The director in question failed to adequately provide information to the parties involved, entered into agreements in violation of the articles of incorporation, and governance within the company not only failed to improve but actually deteriorated in certain areas. This ruling remains a milestone in the case law of the Enterprise Chamber, and Jop is proud to have added this jewel to the firm’s crown. - Fruytier Lawyers in Business advised its Dutch client in the container industry on the acquisition of shares and the buyout of several (partly foreign) shareholders in a Dutch company, through which the client became the sole owner of the Dutch operations (the Netherlands, Germany); deal value > 1 million euros
