The Benefits of a Shareholder Dispute Lawyer

Shareholder disputes involve disagreements either among shareholders themselves or between shareholders and the company’s board of directors. In this guide, we’ll discuss the common causes of shareholder disputes and how to find the right legal firm for your needs.

Generally, shareholder disputes fall into two categories. In some situations, a majority shareholder may face opposition from minority shareholders that prevents them from taking certain actions. Alternatively, a minority shareholder might feel pressured by the majority to consent to decisions they do not fully support. Read More

Other possible causes of shareholder disputes include the breakdown of relationships. If shareholders act in breach of the law, the other shareholders may decide to pursue legal action. Payment policies can also cause disputes.

Whatever the cause of the dispute, seeking legal support can help the situation reach a healthy conclusion. A shareholder dispute lawyer can help navigate the complexities of the conflict, protect your rights, and work toward a resolution that aligns with your best interests, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

Negotiation refers to a process in which parties involved in a dispute communicate (either directly or through representatives) to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Negotiation aims to resolve conflicts without resorting to litigation.

Settling shareholder disputes through negotiation is often a better option, as it tends to be quicker and more cost-effective than going to court. It also allows for innovative solutions that a court cannot impose and enables the parties involved to retain control over the resolution process.

Settling shareholder disputes through negotiation is often advantageous because it is typically quicker and more cost-effective than commercial litigation. It enables the creation of innovative solutions beyond what a court can mandate and allows the involved parties to retain control over the resolution process.

Having an experienced shareholder lawyer at hand will enable you to understand the complexities of shareholder law in the clearest possible terms.

How do you charge?

Trust is one of our core values. We pride ourselves on not causing 'bill shock'. Our usual approach is to provide you with a clear and transparent fee quote to ensure that there are no surprises. You can then make an informed decision about whether you want to proceed or not.

Do I have to go to Court?

Achieving a mutually agreed outcome outside of Court is usually the first port of call. If that is not possible, seeking the assistance of the Court may be an available option.

When should I get a lawyer involved?

Time is usually of the essence with disputes. We have seen situations in the past where issues have been caused due to clients coming to us too late after the dispute originally arose. So, it is usually sensible to get in touch with a lawyer once the dispute arises.
