Bob Berluti and Matt Gens obtained summary judgment in the Massachusetts Superior Court on eight counts of a ten-count amended complaint brought by a disgruntled 50% shareholder against the other 50% shareholders in a Massachusetts closely held family corporation. Significantly, despite a shareholder deadlock, the summary disposition included the corporate dissolution claim because the plaintiff failed to show any evidence of ‘irreparable injury’ required under the applicable statute. The decision was reported in the March 7, 2022 edition of the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.
