Parties entering into commercial relationships should be aware of the risks and possible methods of resolution when a commercial relationship falls through. Expensive shareholder disputes can be avoided by way of a comprehensive shareholder agreement. If you are about to enter into a commercial relationship, extra consideration should be made at the outset so that your shareholders agreement adequately handles how the parties handle disputes or disagreements. If you or your company need assistance in preparing or advising on shareholder agreements, we can assist you too.
However, if the relationship between the shareholders is already beyond repair, our team can:
provide effective advice to you regarding your rights and obligations under your shareholders agreement and the Companies Act 1993; and
represent you or your company to commercially conscious and practical solutions.
Our firm assists multiple small-to-medium sized companies with an appreciation of the varying circumstances that the parties can find themselves in at this stage of a dispute. Contact our disputes & litigation lawyers today if you are in need of assistance in a shareholder dispute.
