Basic Duties Imposed by Statute on Directors
Directors of a corporation have a crucial role in overseeing the strategic operations of the company and ensuring the well-being of the corporation and its shareholders. They supervise the activities of the officers and report back to the shareholders as required.
Directors have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.
(a) California law sets out the general duty of care for non-publicly owned corporate directors in Corporations Code §309. This duty requires directors to act in good faith, with care, and in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.
(b) Directors must exercise reasonable inquiry and use the same degree of care that an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances.
(c) Directors are allowed to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements prepared or presented by officers, employees, counsel, independent accountants, or other experts if they believe them to be reliable and competent in the matters presented.
(d) They can also rely on committees of the board, if they believe the committee to be trustworthy and the matter is within its designated authority. However, directors must act in good faith, after reasonable inquiry when necessary, and without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.
(e) Directors who perform their duties in accordance with the duty of care outlined in Corporations Code §309 are protected from liability. Additionally, the liability of a director for monetary damages may be eliminated or limited in a corporation’s articles to the extent provided in paragraph (10) of subdivision (a) of Section 204.
(f) If you are a director of a corporation, it is important to understand your duties and obligations. Consulting with experienced lawyers or attorneys who specialize in director service agreements can help ensure that you comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Explain the Business Judgment Rule
The business judgment rule protects directors of a corporation from personal liability for decisions they make on behalf of the corporation, if those decisions were made in good faith based on all available information, with reasonable care, and without a conflict of interest such as self-dealing.
The rule is based on the idea that directors are in the best position to make decisions about the corporation’s business and that courts should defer to their business judgment.
In other words, the rule provides directors with a presumption of correctness and protects them from liability unless their actions were unreasonable or in violation of the law.
However, the business judgment rule does not protect directors who act recklessly, in bad faith, or with an intentional disregard for the corporation’s best interests. They cannot circumvent their own wrongdoings. In such cases, directors may be held personally liable for any damages caused by their actions.
It is important for directors to understand the business judgment rule and to act in good faith when making decisions on behalf of the corporation. Seeking the advice of experienced lawyers or attorneys who specialize in director service agreements can help ensure that directors comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

I had a contentious issue with my management company and Dignity Law helped me navigate it! They were great to work with, and I would highly recommend them.
-Thomas Mastro
Joe helped me win my civil case against a former business partner. He stuck by me for 7 years. Thank Goodness its over and justice was served. If it weren’t for Joe showing me what evidence I needed to present, I could have lost my savings.
Geoffrey L.
My family hired Dignity Law Group to evict our tenant who had not paid rent in a very long time and was causing major financial issues for our family. Working with the firm was great, they got the job done. They answered our questions and helped guide through court. Highly recommend!

My mother and I were pleased how generous, attentive, communicative Joseph was in regards to our case. Thanks to him we had our case settled, sealed & we were highly compensated.

A year ago, my family and I were in a nasty situation with our apartment complex. I had to talk to a lawyer, and this is when I found Joseph. I told him our problem and he was very honest with what could happen. A year later, it finally got done. Joseph gets back to you. I am happy with his services.

David Greene is super knowledgeable about tenants rights, and more. Very easy to work with. Listens to what you need and gives honest straightforward advice that really helps you make the right decisions. I would recommend him as an attorney.
-Dean B.
It has been a month since we reached out to this firm for assistance. The legal assistant took our intake of the situation we are facing, but no attorney from this firm has reached out to us. We followed up about 1 week and a half ago, but still no luck with speaking with one of the attorneys at this firm.

Frequently Asked Question
Ans: Security deposits have very specific rules and regulations, and very well may be grounds for a lawsuit, but often the amount in controversy is below that of the courts our firm practice in. In Los Angeles, any dispute for $10,000 or less is brought in small claims court, and lawyers can not represent individuals in small claims court. Matters for $10,000-$24,999 are in the limited civil courts, and only some firms litigate in those courts. Matters for over $25,000 are brought in the unlimited civil courts, and the litigation is often more expensive than the amount in dispute. If you have a security deposit claim in excess of $25,000 you can contact our firm to discuss our rates and representation options.
Ans: No. A 3-day notice to perform or quit is not a lawsuit, it is not something that our law firm can take action against, as it is not a legal pleading before the court. It is also constitutionally protected speech, so unless it violates the debt collection laws (if for debt) it is often protected from any action against it. A 3-day performance or quit is a premise that an eviction (unlawful detainer) is then brought to court upon. If you perform, it is no longer viable. If the request is illegal, or untenable, then the lawsuit may fail, but in any event, our firm can not assist you if all you have received is a 3-day notice.
Ans: No. While a lawsuit may be prohibited or against a statute, the covid-protections are not magic wands. The lawsuit does not just go away, instead, the protections act as defenses that still must be presented to the court in defense of the unlawful detainer complaint. For example, if a tenant claims that he/she did not pay rent because of the impacts of covid, the truth of that defense is a question of fact for a jury or judge to decide.
Ans: Most likely no. We do not represent any tenant v tenant or neighbor v neighbor actions, however, in very rare circumstances a landlord/owner may be found liable for the criminal conduct of 3rd parties when the landlord knows of the danger and fails to take any steps to mitigate. These cases are very challenging and holding a landlord responsible for the acts pf a totally unrelated person is challenging and often not realistic.
