Voting Trusts and Voting Agreements

This lesson provides an introduction to voting trusts and voting agreements—what they are, how they work, and why you might choose one over the other. In particular, this lesson examines the statutory provisions found in the Model Business Corporation Act (MBCA) that govern voting trusts (Section 7.30) and voting agreements (Section 7.31). In addition to the substantive material, it is intended to provide the student with an opportunity to hone their skills reading and interpreting statutes.
