Juan Monteverde, Protecting Shareholder Rights
Juan Monteverde, of the law firm of Monteverde and Associates, working out of New York City is in a decidedly niche orientated corner of the law. Juan Monteverde dedicates the majority of his time representing minority shareholder rights in mergers, which rights are often trampled upon by Corporate Boards when mergers and acquisitions take place. According to Juan Monteverde, when shareholders are given short shrift by corporate boards, the shareholders, many of them holding thousands upon thousands of shares in a company are often left with no choice but to sue.
A 2005 graduate of St. Thomas University School of Law, Attorney Juan Monteverde served as a partner and chair of the Mergers & Acquisitions Department of a major New York City law for 6 years. He is also a graduate of the California State University of Northridge with a B. S in Finance (Peoplepill).
He practiced there from July of 2010 to June of 2016 before striking out to form his own law firm, which was profitable from the start because he took a few of his high-value clients with him in the merger. Juan Monteverde formed Monteverde & Associates PC in June of 2016. One of the first law firms to advertise on the internet, today he regularly issues shareholder alerts such as the recent one on September 18th of this year, where the company is investigating Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc for the sale of the Company to Sociétés des Produits Nestlé.
The current investigation involves whether the sale was conducted fairly, whether the transaction undervalued the stock, and whether the company failed to disclose all necessary information. Issuing an alert does not necessarily mean that minority shareholders will proceed with a lawsuit, but quite often they do. Juan Monteverde received a portion of approved court-ordered compensation, and the company has obtained post-close judgments of over $125 million for their clients in the last several years of litigation. Mr. Montvedre is frequently called on to deliver speeches and write articles about transparent stockholder transactions, and he has several times been named by Superlawyers as a rising star in his field.
