Corporate claims and shareholder disputes

Disputes relating to corporate matters, including those involving shareholders, can often lead to significant disruption in the day to day running of the business if they are not managed properly. We are experts in resolving these disputes decisively, pragmatically and sensitively. We know from experience that our clients value our expertise in getting to the core of the dispute quickly and that they also recognise our ability to advise on the most appropriate range of resolution options available including alternative dispute resolution techniques such as mediation.

We will always discuss with our clients the cost of any particular step as against the potential benefit. We are transparent in relation to costs from the outset. We know that our clients do not like surprises. We will always prepare a costs budget at the start of any dispute and are so confident in our ability to budget accurately that we will agree fixed fees with our clients in many cases.

The work undertaken by the team includes:

  • Actions relating to breach of directors' duties
  • Share and business sale warranty disputes (and other disputes arising out of acquisitions or sales of business and shares).
  • Disputes between shareholders including section 994 Companies Act 2006 petitions and applications to wind up a company on a just and equitable basis.
