Shareholder Disputes
Shareholder issues need a firm but tactful approach. Our experienced team can advise you on all aspects of shareholder disagreements, from dispute resolution to documenting the sale of shares and advising on the tax and employment implications.
At the outset of a problem, we often work closely with our clients "behind the scenes", identifying the legal issues and enabling our client to "front" negotiations. This often avoids an escalation of the problem into a full-scale dispute.
One common issue is the valuation of a shareholding. In these cases it is critical to select the right valuer. We regularly instruct professional valuers who are highly experienced in valuing minority shareholdings and can help our clients resolve disagreements fairly and without risk to the company.
