In this case law update, we break down Trigger Energy Holdings LLC v. Stevens, a South Dakota Supreme Court decision addressing economic duress, LLC buyouts, and fiduciary duty claims in the oilfield services industry.
The case centers on a struggling oil extraction services company where equal partners exited through a disputed buyout. The sellers later attempted to unwind the deal, alleging economic duress, breach of fiduciary duty, shareholder oppression, unjust enrichment, and tortious interference after accepting a below-valuation offer.
The South Dakota Supreme Court rejected those claims, emphasizing that pressure—even aggressive pressure—is not economic duress when parties have reasonable alternatives, time, and legal counsel. The court also clarified key issues involving manager-managed LLCs, third-party interference requirements, and why courts are reluctant to unwind negotiated agreements in hindsight.
This clip offers practical takeaways for business owners, attorneys, and executives navigating LLC exit strategies, buyout negotiations, and high-stakes disputes.
