Shareholder Disputes

Corporate disputes but particularly those between directors / shareholders can have a huge knock-on effect on a business as well as for the individuals involved. Often getting early specialist legal advice can help alleviate the negative impact on the business and allow the individuals involved to resolve matters in an effective and cost-effective way without the need for litigation. This may be through a negotiated exit of one of the parties and/or a share purchase.

When an individual or business finds themselves in such a situation our team at BRM has vast experience in handling all types of corporate and shareholder claims.
