Guzov, LLC Protects Co-op Shareholders’ Right to Safeguard Investment through New York Supreme Court Ruling

Guzov's Legal News and Publications

Guzov, LLC successfully facilitated a cooperative shareholder’s right to review the books and records of his co-op. Justice Lebovits granted Guzov, LLC’s Article 78 petition to view corporate records demonstrating that a shareholder in a co-op has the same legal rights to documents as shareholders in other public and closely-held corporations doing business in the State of New York. In ruling as it did, the Court confirmed the intrinsic right of shareholders to protect their investments.
