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.

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

- 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
