Director/Shareholder Disputes

In owner-managed businesses, disputes between shareholders or directors may often  involve disputes between friends or family members and they need to be dealt with sensitively and promptly. It is important to retain a sense of perspective and to ensure a cost-efficient approach. It is also important to ensure that value in your business is preserved rather than destroyed by the dispute.

We work to give you pro-active commercial advice from the beginning to help you resolve issues with the minimum stress and expense. We have considerable experience of alternative dispute resolution methods, including mediation, and problems of this nature are often best resolved by negotiation which should usually be tried first. However, if Court proceedings cannot be avoided, we are there with you every step of the way!

The Dispute Resolution team at Actons Solicitors is highly regarded by our clients and is consistently recognised by the Legal 500.

We will agree a budget with you for our work and in some case may be able to act on a “no win, no fee” basis.We are happy to accept instructions from you wherever your business is located: it does not matter whether you are in or close to our base in the East Midlands.

For further information about how we can help you, please contact the head of the department Chris Murratt or one of the team on 0115 9 100 200 or email him chris.murratt@actons.co.uk
