We understand that it is natural for problems to arise between company directors and shareholders when competing interests are involved. But, it is still disruptive and often stressful when issues do happen. In our experience, small issues can snowball if they are not dealt with swiftly, and bigger issues can result in a trial if not addressed properly.
The law surrounding boardroom and shareholder disputes is complex and it is best to seek legal advice as soon as possible so that issues can be resolved.
At ScoMo, we have specialist lawyers that can assist you with shareholder disputes. Get in touch with us today for further advice and one of our friendly experts will be able to help on 020 3972 9011 or complete our online enquiry form.
When can shareholder disputes arise?
Shareholders have ultimate control of a company, and those with majority voting rights can therefore dismiss directors, appoint new ones and take action on behalf of the company.
As such, this can create conflict between majority and minority shareholders as minority shareholders have less control over the company and may be out-voted with certain decisions, which could lead to fallout. Other disputes may occur when making valuations of share prices, transferring shares, and selling shares.
Companies will often look to the articles of association or the shareholder agreement to find remedies. In some cases, shareholder agreements may not be in place to provide remedial options for different eventualities, and the articles of association may not have the answers either. In such cases, disputes can badly impact the company and everyone involved.
