Resolving Disputes with Eldwick Law’s Shareholder Dispute Solicitors

We specialise in resolving shareholder conflicts through advice, negotiation, and litigation, protecting our clients’ rights and interests.

Mediation

Our primary goal is to resolve shareholder disputes outside of court. This approach often leads to quicker, less costly resolutions, benefiting all parties involved.

If parties can reach a mediated solution, potential actions could include:

  • Continuing shareholders buying out
  • The company purchasing shares
  • Shareholders receiving the company through demergers
  • Acquisition of a new holding company, which may involve a share exchange for shareholders

Litigation

If litigation becomes necessary, we are fully prepared to represent your interests in court.

Our lawyers are skilled in managing the different actions available to shareholders during disputes:

  • Unfair prejudice petitions, when other shareholders buy out the shareholder that has suffered the unfair prejudice;
  • Derivative action, where the director(s) are in breach of his/her duties;
  • Winding up of the company;
  • Breach of directors’ duties;
  • Underperforming directors or shareholders;
  • Section 944 petitions; and
  • Salary disputes.
