The first step is the complete corporate record

We normally need the charter, shareholder agreement, registry extract, meeting minutes, director decisions, relevant financial material and correspondence. The legal character of the conflict often becomes clear only when these documents are considered together.

The company’s own interests also matter

Shareholders may have a serious personal conflict, but the legal strategy must also consider continued operation of the company, employees, contracts, banking relationships and third parties. A rushed step can damage the economic position of both sides.

Exit or sale of a share can be part of the solution

In some disputes, the real objective is not control of the company but a fair exit. We review transfer restrictions, valuation, payment security, warranties and any issues that could remain open after the share is sold.

What clients ask about shareholder disputes

Which documents are needed for a shareholder dispute?

For an initial assessment we usually need the charter, shareholder agreement, registry extract, meeting minutes, director decisions, disputed transactions, relevant financial material and correspondence between the parties.

Can a shareholder resolution be challenged?

Depending on the decision, procedure and legal basis, a remedy may be available. It matters who made the decision, how the meeting was convened and voted, and what consequences followed.

What is a corporate deadlock?

It is a situation in which the voting structure prevents the company from taking an important decision. The solution depends on the charter, shareholder agreement and the available negotiated or legal mechanisms.

Can a director be held liable?

In a particular case, the director’s duties, authority, conflicts of interest and any loss caused to the company may be relevant. Liability depends on the facts and the legal basis.

Can a shareholder exit be arranged without court proceedings?

Yes, if the parties agree the terms. Share price, payment mechanism, company obligations, warranties and corporate changes should be documented as one coordinated process.

Do you have a conflict with a shareholder or business partner?

Send the charter, shareholder agreement, recent resolutions or minutes and a short chronology. We will first identify the right that is actually in dispute and the step that protects your position without unnecessarily paralysing the business.
