It takes time to build strong relationships with your partners or shareholders, and building that relationship is important in growing the success of the business, but we know sometimes business relationships can break down and undermine value generated for shareholders.
Birkett Long’s partnership dispute solicitors are well placed to act quickly when needed, to provide practical advice to companies and individuals on the best way forward in these situations.
If professional disputes are not acted upon quickly, this can affect management, employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and directors. Such disputes have the potential to destroy the company and rapidly diminish the goodwill the business has built up. Our dispute team will help you consider your options in trying to resolve a dispute with shareholders, partners or fellow directors.
Sadly, Birkett Long is often not contacted until after the professional relationship has broken down. Disputes can be acrimonious and costly, despite our best efforts to settle them. Much of the acrimony and cost could be avoided by a properly drafted shareholders’ agreement. Speak to us early about putting in place an agreement to avoid unnecessary worry and expense at a later date.
