Disputes in company boardrooms are
always disruptive, and no matter how trivial they are, they divert
valuable attention from day-to-day management. In extreme cases,
they can paralyse a company's operations
altogether.
Whether the dispute has arisen in
isolation, or as part of a broader dispute between shareholders
over the ownership or management of the company, our team is
familiar with the particular challenges involved. We help to
minimise the impact of boardroom disputes, always looking to
resolve them satisfactorily.
We help our clients to steer the
often difficult course between the strict requirements of company
law and governance, and the practical, commercial needs of their
business.
In addition to advising companies,
we advise executive and non-executive directors acting collectively
as a board, in groups, as committees or as individuals.
Our experience includes advising on
disputes concerning matters such as:
- remuneration;
- corporate strategy;
- directors' legal obligations; and
- conflicts of interest and dealings by directors with interested
parties.
We also advise companies and
directors on employment law issues arising from boardroom
disputes.
