近日，大成上海办公室高级合伙人马乃东律师团队受邀在Chambers and Partners平台Family Law 2024（Trends and Developments）版块发表题为Exploring Legal Risks in Equity Inheritance Litigation: The Battle for Corporate Control的专业文章。
Based on his years of experience in the field of private clients and family wealth, Mr. Ma re-examines the issues of equity inheritance and wealth inheritance based on the regulatory dynamics and judicial practice in China in recent years, as well as the intricate inheritance and corporate control dispute cases triggered by the unexpected death of an entrepreneur he has represented in the past.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's private wealth has achieved phenomenal growth, and at the same time, it also marks the time when the wealth-creating generation, represented by private entrepreneurs, is gradually entering retirement. In this context, the need for "wealth inheritance" in China is becoming more and more urgent. Especially in the inheritance of family wealth, the inheritance of equity has become the first issue that needs to be considered by the wealth-creating generation. In view of the particularity of the company's equity with both property and personal attributes, the ownership of equity and the control of the company are the basis for the wealth protection of the shareholders of any enterprise, especially family enterprises, and affect the stability of the company's operation and management. The issue of when the heirs will become shareholders and the violation of the law in the course of the family business will lead to more intense disputes and conflicts.
Ma Naidong's team has been deeply engaged in the field of entrepreneur wealth inheritance for many years, has a high degree of professionalism and rich experience, and has written a series of articles on the legal issues of equity inheritance, which have been published on platforms such as Wolters Kluwer Kluwer.
