Get pragmatic advice on your dispute
Disputes between directors and shareholders rarely stay just business — left unresolved, they damage trust, morale and the company itself. Our commercial litigation team gets to the heart of the issue quickly, separating the emotional from the commercial, and pursues the outcome that protects your interests.
Disputes we handle
- Unfair prejudice – where a shareholder’s interests are being unfairly disregarded.
- Breach of director duties – directors acting outside their responsibilities under the Companies Act 2006.
- Shareholder agreement disputes – disagreements over rights, obligations or exit terms.
- Share purchase disputes – breach of warranty or issues arising from the negotiations themselves.
- Unfair division of payouts – where profits or dividends favour certain shareholders unfairly.
- Conflicts of interest – including misrepresentation, deceit and fraud between shareholders or directors.

What counts as a shareholder or director dispute?
Anything from unfair prejudice and breaches of director duties to disagreements over shareholder agreements, share purchases, or how profits are shared. If trust has broken down between those running the business, we can help.
-
Will this end up in court?
Not always. We favour negotiation, mediation and arbitration wherever it can resolve things faster and more cost-effectively. Litigation is always an option where it’s necessary, and we’re experienced advocates when it is.
-
How quickly can you respond?
We guarantee a response to every enquiry. Given how quickly these disputes can escalate, early advice makes a real difference to the outcome.
-
What outcomes can I expect?
Every dispute is different, so we assess your specific circumstances before advising on realistic outcomes — whether that’s a negotiated settlement, a change in how the company is run, or compensation.
