Solving the Problem
2/6
In this webinar, we shall consider the consequences of not creating a comprehensive corporate governance plan, and the various legal remedies allowed under Singapore law in the event of a family shareholder dispute.
We shall then consider the principal options open to families that wish to explore formal governance planning, including a critical assessment of the uses of shareholder agreements, share class rights as well as trust and fiduciary solutions, and shall end with consideration of appropriate use of family charters.
The tax implications of governance and succession planning will be explored both from the perspective of a domestic Singapore business family as well as a foreign family with Singapore holding or trading entities.
