Director & Shareholder Disputes

What to do when there are disputes between shareholders

The owners and leaders of the business may have differing views as to the direction, strategy or vision for the business. This can lead to director, partnership or shareholder disputes. We understand that things don’t always go to plan, and the burden of statutory responsibilities as well as the protection of the interests of the business and those running it can occasionally lead to disputes.

If these disputes escalate, it can cause reputational damage, create uncertainty for employees, stakeholders, customers and suppliers, restrict progress, as well as create unwelcome opportunities for competitors.
