Shareholder Disputes

Our team help you assert, protect and defend your rights as a shareholder.

Going into business with others is the commercial equivalent of getting married and the corporate divorces which often follow can be just as painful as a marriage breakdown.

We offer the advice you need to protect your position in the business and provide assistance at the earliest stage when business relationships do break down in order to safeguard your interests.

Our specialist team is here to help you when it matters most and has successfully worked with both shareholders and directors to defend their rights. It is headed by experienced litigator Paul Lunt who has appeared in regional and national media as an expert in shareholder disputes.

The team has also drawn upon their specialist knowledge to write and maintain a dedicated, specialist website on shareholder rights at www.shareholderrights.co.uk.

We provide support on an array of contentious and non-contentious issues including company structures, shareholding sale matters e.g. pre-emption rights and non-registration, and dispute-related issues while we also offer guidance on allegations of ‘unfair prejudice’ under section 994 of the Companies Act 2006.
