Management Disputes: Company Management and Company Ownership
The intricacies of company law as it applies to directors and shareholders are not often appreciated until parties are in dispute.
The obligations of directors to one another, to shareholders, to the company and to creditors are complex and can vary depending on the financial circumstances of the company.
Very often an individual will want to 'get out' of a company but at the same time realise his or her full stake. Conversely, the majority might want to get rid of a director or shareholder who no longer fits with the direction of the business and its ethos. Whatever the situation, careful thought needs to be given to what steps should be taken. Or, if developments have already taken place, sound, accurate advice is required as to what remedies might be available.
The Dispute Resolution team is experienced in guiding clients through such situations and, where appropriate, acting for clients in court proceedings.
