Solicitors Specialising in Minority Shareholder Disputes
Disputes between shareholders in businesses are relatively common, and most are easily resolved. It’s not always that simple or easy, however, and disputes can often become more serious and cause problems to the operation of the business.

Any dispute between company shareholders is often both complicated and highly stressful. And it can prove very expensive indeed.

The head of our business dispute team, David Patterson, is a member of the Commercial Litigation Association – the UK’s only group of expert commercial litigation and mediation professionals.
Avoiding disputes in the first place – getting the right shareholders agreement
One of the most effective ways to resolve disputes is to anticipate them and plan against them before they happen.
Drawing up a shareholders’ agreement is a vital stage in a company’s formation, although an agreement can be drawn up at any point in order to mitigate against any future disputes which might occur between shareholders.
Resolving disputes
Legal advice should also be sought if you are already in the midst of a minority shareholder dispute, as proper resolution and mediation will be key to ensuring the dispute is settled quickly and amicably, enabling the business to carry on with its normal functions without adversely affecting the company itself or any of the shareholders, directors or employees.
When people’s jobs are potentially at stake, a quick resolution should always be sought, and an experienced business solicitor can help you through the potential minefield that is conflict resolution.
