From shareholder agreements to High Court petitions, we protect shareholder interests across all corporate disputes.

Shareholder rights expertise combined with strategic litigation and commercial exit focus.
We conduct rigorous analysis of shareholder rights under the Companies Act, articles of association, and shareholders' agreements—identifying actionable claims and developing compelling evidence of unfair prejudice or breach of shareholder rights.
Minority shareholders face unique challenges including exclusion and oppression. We specialise in protecting minority interests through section 994 unfair prejudice petitions, derivative claims, and enforcement of minority protection provisions in company constitutions.
Most shareholder disputes require exit solutions. We focus on achieving favourable buyouts through negotiated settlements, mediation, and court-ordered share purchases—maximising shareholder value while enabling clean exits from deadlocked companies.
When negotiation fails, we pursue shareholder interests through unfair prejudice proceedings, information rights enforcement, and breach of shareholder agreement claims—achieving optimal outcomes through effective advocacy and expert valuation evidence.
Dedicated shareholder claims practice with expertise in minority shareholder protection, unfair prejudice petitions, and shareholder agreement enforcement.
Track record of securing favourable shareholder exits and buyouts through negotiation, mediation, and court-ordered remedies in unfair prejudice proceedings.
