Corporate disputes
Our corporate disputes team are expert problem solvers and have worked with both public and private companies, owner-managed businesses, minority shareholders, high net worth investors and entrepreneurs on a wide range of corporate disputes.
Corporate disputes take many forms; they can arise out of a joint venture agreement; a shareholders’ agreement; a partnership agreement; a corporate acquisition or sale; or simply a dispute between directors.
Our lawyers provide smart solutions at all stages of the dispute resolution process. This includes:
- early advice to avoid or prevent a risk or issue escalating and minimise disruption
- innovative solutions to maintain longstanding relationships where necessary
- seeking settlement on commercially acceptable terms by using various methods such as mediation; or,
- litigation or arbitration, as appropriate
- urgent action to protect your business including steps to obtain injunctive relief to enforce restrictive covenants, prevent actions by directors in breach of their duties or protect against the mis-use of confidential information.
Our disputes team has extensive business litigation experience including working with various funding arrangements. Our lawyers’ combined technical expertise and flexible approach enables us to help you find the best commercial solutions to your business disputes. A good claim is an asset, and, once we have assessed the strength of your claim we will also advise you of which funding solutions may help you to realise that asset where cash flow is pressured.
