A corporate transaction or reorganisation is never an end in itself.
We look at the more profound finality and the nature of wealth transfer. Where assets migrate, taxation comes into play.
Shareholder disputes
Why should shareholder disputes be prevented or resolved?
Conflicts at the shareholder level can not only disrupt the operational functioning of a company but also cause significant personal and emotional stress. In such situations, it is essential to adopt a pragmatic approach aimed at finding a solution that resolves the conflict and prevents further damage. The quickest path to a solution is to seek a compromise that is acceptable to all parties, which is therefore always preferred.
Our approach:
Our goal is to guide you through this challenging situation with an approach that takes into account both your business interests and your personal well-being. We work closely with you to determine the best strategy and to ensure that the solution reached is both fair and practical.
Our expertise in this domain:
When an amicable solution proves unattainable, we deploy our legal expertise to take the necessary (judicial) steps. As the saying goes: “Gentle healers make festering wounds.” This may range from mediation and arbitration to initiating court proceedings, depending on the specific circumstances of the conflict and the needs of our clients.
In practice? Illustrative cases:
CASE
For two brothers who, together with a third brother, had built a successful SME in the maritime sector, expert guidance was crucial during a shareholder dispute. Due to external circumstances, tensions arose between the three brothers, putting at risk the business value they had built over many years.
To make matters worse, one of the brothers was dismissed as a director of the company, leading to the need for an exclusion procedure.
After several intense negotiation sessions, an agreement was reached whereby the two brothers were bought out, without the imposition of a non-compete clause.
