Or we can call you back at a time of your choice.
We advise shareholders, directors, and business owners on a wide range of disputes, including disagreements over company direction, profit distribution, and decision-making. We also assist with issues such as breaches of shareholder agreements, minority shareholder rights, exclusion from management, and disputes arising from the sale or transfer of shares.
Whether you are seeking to protect your position or resolve a conflict within the business, we provide clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances and commercial objectives.
Resolving Disputes Without Court
Not all shareholder disputes need to result in litigation. We regularly support clients through negotiation, structured settlement discussions, and mediation. Early intervention can often prevent disputes from escalating and help preserve working relationships where appropriate.
We also advise on pre-action strategy, ensuring you are in the strongest possible position before any formal steps are taken.
When Litigation Is Necessary
Where a dispute cannot be resolved informally, we provide robust representation through court proceedings. This may include claims for unfair prejudice, breach of shareholder agreements, or disputes concerning company control.
We also handle urgent applications, including injunctions where necessary to protect your interests. You will have a dedicated solicitor guiding you throughout, with a clear strategy from the outset.
