Shareholder Disputes

Shareholder disputes are rarely only legal problems. A minority shareholder being squeezed out, a deadlocked board, a director acting in their own interest: the legal position matters, but so does the leverage each side actually has.

• Minority shareholder oppression and prejudiced conduct claims
• Deadlock between shareholders or directors
• Buy-outs, exits and valuation disputes
• Breach of shareholders’ agreements
• Directors’ duties and conflicts of interest
• Access to company records and information

I have extensive experience with both the legal and the commercial strategies that move these disputes toward an outcome, which is often not the same thing as the strategy that wins in Court.

When to call: when you first notice you are being cut out of decisions or information. Waiting weakens the position.

The first conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation. Get in touch and you will get a straight answer about where you stand.
