Corporate Disputes

A sensitive approach to complex problems

Few issues strike at the very heart of a business like an internal corporate dispute. These can involve shareholders or directors, or both – sometimes current, sometimes former. When board members conflict, shareholders disagree, or there are arguments around how a company operates or is funded, we support you with pragmatic, realistic advice. We’ll guide you through the steps needed to resolve the conflict quickly and fairly, as well as any proceedings if they can’t be avoided.

Unfair prejudice petitions and claims for breaches of directors’ duties demand careful handling to protect your position. Whatever side you’re on, we work with you to assess your goals and how they can be achieved because when you drill down, most disagreements stem from someone believing they’re not getting what they expected.

We also unravel disputes related to share and asset sales, as well as M&A transactions, including warranty claims, indemnities, guarantees and earn-outs – no matter how complex.

When the pressure is on, we act decisively to get you on the right path to meet your objectives. From boards locked in conflict to shareholders fighting for their rights, we work hard to find timely and cost-effective resolutions – always with one eye on the future of the business.
