Shareholder & partnership disputes

We understand that disputes arising between business partners can be highly acrimonious and have a very damaging effect on the business concerned. Our experts provide specialist advice to clients seeking to protect their interests and achieve resolution of disputes, all while minimising risk.

Clients include partners and shareholders from across all sectors, ranging from small firms to large plcs.

Our team has significant expertise advising shareholder and partnership disputes. We are experienced in high value partnership disputes and complex minority shareholder "unfair prejudice" disputes in the High Court.
