Michigan city scape in grey
Marko Law Firm

Can shareholder oppression occur in closely held or family-owned businesses?

Absolutely—and this is where it happens most often.

Closely held and family-owned businesses are especially vulnerable to oppression because:

  • There are few shareholders
  • Control is concentrated
  • Exit options are limited
  • Personal relationships blur business boundaries

Being family doesn’t excuse unfair treatment. Michigan law applies equally whether the business is run by relatives, longtime partners, or friends who stopped playing fair.
