Shareholder Disputes Solicitors

Resolve your dispute with help from our shareholder dispute solicitors

If you are involved in a shareholder dispute, it is in both your interests and that of the company to resolve the matter swiftly and effectively. Our team has in-depth knowledge and extensive experienced in acting for both minority and majority shareholders in a wide range of disputes.

Shareholder disputes can be expensive and often in circumstances where a resolution cannot be achieved, have a detrimental effect on the company. Consequently, we at KANGS take the view that it is often more pragmatic and practical to try and resolve a dispute as commercially as practicable, rather than embarking immediately on litigation, which is both expensive and time-consuming.

Our team includes trained business mediators who can facilitate dialogue between parties or act on your behalf to achieve the resolution of ongoing disputes.

Our shareholder dispute lawyers are ready to help you

Shareholder disputes often result in significant personal and mental strain for the Parties involved. This is why, insofar as it is possible to do so, we at KANGS, strive to resolve disputes quickly, reducing the impact on the Parties and enable them to reach a pragmatic resolution and have minimal disruption to the business.

Our aim is to help you reach a resolution through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) rather than immediately embarking on formal proceedings. ADR is more cost-effective and has the possibility of resolving disputes more quickly, and cost effectively compared to Court and potentially maintain some level of business relationship.

We advise and act for shareholders in comprehensive range of disputes including:

  • Unfair prejudice petitions
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Breach of fiduciary duties and derivative actions
  • Majority and minority shareholder disputes
  • 50/50 Deadlock situations

If court action is your best option, our team of skilled litigators has extensive experience and will represent you in court with expertise and care, ensuring your interests are protected.

It is vital that you seek legal advice as early as possible, even if you believe a business disagreement seems likely. At KANGS, we take a tailored approach to every case, ensuring that our guidance reflects the specific circumstances of your shareholder dispute.

Our team provides clear and practical guidance on assessing the commercial benefit of litigation compared to alternative dispute resolution or without prejudice negotiations. This enables shareholders to assess their options and make informed decisions on ways to move forward.

What is a shareholder dispute?

A disagreement among shareholders or between shareholders, which may arise from a breach of any formal shareholder agreement, or from an implied agreement on “how things were done.”

How can I resolve a shareholder dispute?

There are two main ways of resolving a shareholder dispute, litigation or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). ADR encompasses a range of methods such as mediation that parties may adopt to resolve a dispute. It is generally more cost effective than court-based litigation and disputes tend to be resolved much more quickly.

Litigation is an alternative method for resolving shareholder disputes. However, the litigation process can be time-consuming, costly, and with no guarantee as to the outcome. If the only recourse is litigation, our team of experienced lawyers will guide you through the litigation process and ensure that your position is robustly protected at all times.
