QUESTION-ANSWER

Are there any alternative ways to resolve corporate disputes, except the judicial proceedings?

Article 225.1 of the Arbitration Procedure Code stipulates that some disputes may be referred to arbitration courts on condition that plaintiffs or defendants in such disputes have concluded an arbitration agreement on the transfer of such disputes to an arbitration court. In such a case, the dispute may be referred to an arbitration court only in the framework of arbitral proceedings, administered by a permanent arbitration institution, which approved, deposited and placed on its website the rules of corporate disputes resolution according to federal law, with the place of arbitration on the territory of the Russian Federation.

How do I know whether I have a corporate dispute or not?

Disputes in the field of corporation law arise on issues related to the creation, management and participation in the organization. They do not include the activities of depositories, issues of hereditary property or division of property by spouses, including shares, stakes, etc.

What questions should founders address to the notary?

Can I sell my stake in an LLC to a third party without the consent of other participants?

In the first place, you should rely on the company's charter; it always stipulates the pre-emption rights to buy out stakes from other participants prior to third parties.
