“Directors Duties & Liabilities; Progress or Regression?” – Our joint managing director Mr Mark Lee spoke on the topic of directors’ duties/liabilities in Singapore.

Our directors, Mr Mark Lee and Ms Sarah Yeo, spoke at the Chambers and Partners Virtual Forum (UK / Singapore) on the topic of:

“Corporate Governance or Trojan Horse; Revisiting the Concepts of Shareholder Passivity and Activism in a New World Order”

In a recently concluded trial in the Singapore High Court, our directors, Mr Mark Lee and Ms Sarah Yeo, represented a founder (minority shareholder) in a shareholder oppression claim and derivative action against the corporate group’s majority bloc.

In recent shareholder / boardroom disputes handled by our “boardroomᵂᴹᴴ⁺” Practice Group, this exact question took centre stage. In both cases, amongst other issues, we contended that our client’s had been oppressed notwithstanding their majority shareholding.
