Shareholder disputes
Disputes between shareholders are rarely only about money: control of the company, access to its information and the value of a stake are all in play at once. We act for majority and minority shareholders, and for companies caught between them.

How we work
Deadlock, minority rights and claims between owners.
We advise on deadlock between partners, the exit or exclusion of a shareholder, challenges to decisions of general meetings and boards, and claims against directors. Where a shareholders' agreement or the charter gives the answer, we enforce it; where it does not, we find the route through the Civil Code and the courts.
Many of these disputes end in a negotiated exit, and we prepare every case so that one stays possible.
