We begin by understanding your role, your objectives, and the legal standing of all parties involved. We analyse your company’s Articles of Association, any Shareholder Agreements, and the relevant facts to provide clear advice on where you stand, what rights you have, and the best route to resolution.
If early resolution is possible, we’ll lead negotiations, propose workable restructuring or exit terms, or use mediation to avoid litigation. Where disputes escalate, we act swiftly to protect your interests, whether that means bringing or defending a claim for example, an unfair prejudice petition, issuing proceedings for breach of directors’ duties, or advising on removing a director lawfully.
We frequently advise on:
- Exclusion from decision-making or management
- Deadlock between shareholders
- Breach of directors’ duties
- Shareholder exits and valuation disputes
- Misuse of company funds or assets
- Director removal under the Companies Act 2006 or Articles
- Enforcing rights under a Shareholder Agreement
- Protecting minority interests or company value
Our focus is always on resolving matters commercially, protecting the business, its reputation, and your investment.
