Business Ownership Disputes

Fast and cost-effective resolution to business ownership disputes.

No matter how long they may have known each other before going into business together and no matter how much the excitement and the commitment at the start, fellow business owners often end up falling out with each other. As a result, business ownership disputes often develop and can escalate quickly and cause ill-feeling.

Disputes with business partners can create tension and issues within a company and partnership disputes need resolving before they become detrimental to the business. It is important to make sure that any issues are dealt with by a team of specialist business partnership dispute solicitors before they are escalated and heightened.

Whether they are company disputes about the following, we are able to help.

  • Partners in a partnership
  • Members in an LLP
  • Shareholders in a limited company or plc
  • Individuals/companies involved in any other sort of joint venture

Our experts always look to solve disputes in the most tactical and stress-free way, using a number of tried and tested remedies. Regardless of the reason behind the partnership or shareholder dispute, our team of business dispute lawyers are on hand to provide the business with the support it requires.

We have extensive experience in advising a number of partners, members, and shareholders across a wide range of business sectors. We provide pragmatic, tactical, and cost-effective advice as to the best way of resolving your dispute, whether that involves the business coming to an end and being wound up, being sold to a third party, or continuing as before but not with all the same people on board.
