Whether you are a company director or shareholder we understand the detrimental impact that a dispute within a company can have both on the individuals concerned and on the company itself. The duties owed by shareholders and directors to each other can be complicated and our team is able to advise you on the options available to you based on your specific circumstances.
If you are a shareholder and you believe that other shareholders in the company have taken a decision which has a prejudicial effect on you as a minority shareholder then we can help you to address that problem. Again our team has extensive experience in petitioning the court to challenge the actions taken by majority shareholders where such actions have severally disadvantaged the minority.
If you are a shareholder who has concerns about the way a company is being run we can advise you whether there is any action you can take to require the majority to act differently, or assist you in securing the true value of your shareholding. We will explain and simplify the process for you and will work closely with you throughout to achieve a positive result.
Equally, if you are concerned about your responsibilities and obligations in the normal course of your position as a director, or in the event that your company is facing insolvency, it is essential that you fully understand your duties and liabilities. Within the team we have experts who regularly advise directors and office holders in corporate insolvency matters, and who are well placed to advise clients on any aspect of director’s duties.
We are also experienced in resolving disputes between directors where insolvency is no an issue, and regularly advise on and negotiate an exit for a director where the dispute cannot be resolved
