We review the company's constitutional documents, shareholder history, and the disputed conduct to assess the strength of your position.
Many shareholder disputes settle on negotiated terms. We pursue early settlement where possible — preserving business value and management relationships.
Where settlement fails, we pursue or defend proceedings in the Companies Court with forensic rigour.
Unfair prejudice arises when the conduct of the company's affairs is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of some members (typically minority shareholders). The most common remedy is a court-ordered share buy-out.
It depends on the shareholders' agreement and articles. We advise minority shareholders on their rights — including drag-along resistance, tag-along exercise, and pre-emption rights.
