Gilead Defeats Record Inspection Request

November 5, 2021

Cooley successfully opposed a plaintiff’s demand to inspect a broad set of corporate records related to Gilead’s novel HIV/AIDS treatments and therapies. The trial court agreed with our argument that plaintiff had no standing to make the demand because inspection rights were limited to shareholders of record. On plaintiff’s appeal, the appellate court unanimously affirmed the trial court’s ruling.

Cooley Team Wins Appellate Ruling That Beneficial Shareholders Cannot Seek Inspection of Company Records Under California Law

July 7, 2021

On July 2, 2021, the California Court of Appeal for the First Appellate District unanimously affirmed the superior court’s denial of a shareholder-inspection demand brought under California law. In Ramirez v. Gilead Sciences, Inc., the court ruled that a shareholder who holds shares as a beneficial owner lacks standing to bring a claim under Section 1601 of the California Corporations Code and has no separate common-law right to inspect company documents. Cooley lawyers Shannon Eagan, Tijana Brien, Barrett Anderson and Christopher Vail led the winning effort on behalf of Gilead.
