Specifics of resolving disputes with controlling persons

Owners of any business often have claims against hired managers (directors). This is most often associated with the following cases:

  • Embezzlement of money from the company;
  • Withdrawal of assets to controlled structures through unprofitable deals;
  • Creation of a parallel business using the client base, transfer of employees;
  • Use of company resources and client base for personal purposes;
  • Appearance of agreements on multi-million dollar payments in favor of directors.

All of the above is often used by unscrupulous managers in the period shortly before their own dismissal or before a deal to sell the business and becomes known when the asset has already been acquired (but not in the form the buyer expected).

More often than not, the actions of management appear legitimate on the surface, but in aggregate or in context of a sale of the business they constitute abuse and embezzlement through devious means.
