The role of corporate agreements in the process of mergers and acquisitions of corporations

In the modern world, corporations often use the strategy of mergers and acquisitions to expand their influence in the market. Often, this practice leads to a violation of the rights of participants and shareholders of companies, especially minority shareholders, whose shares and shares may be diluted. To avoid this, participants (shareholders) of corporations enter into corporate agreements among themselves designed to protect their rights and legitimate interests. However, corporate agreements can also have a negative impact on the process of corporate evolution, which is why it is important for the legislator to maintain a balance of interests of the parties when regulating them. Since the institution of corporate agreements has existed in Russia relatively recently, many issues have not yet been resolved. Judicial practice in cases related to challenging or applying corporate agreements is also relatively small.
