Resolving Shareholder Disputes Without Court Proceedings

Resolving Shareholder Disputes Got Easier with Fortis Rose

Shareholder disputes can quickly damage a business. While court proceedings are sometimes unavoidable, there are effective alternatives that are quicker, cheaper, and less hostile.

Negotiation

Open communication between shareholders can resolve many disagreements before they escalate. Legal advice can clarify rights and options, helping negotiations succeed.

Mediation

A neutral mediator helps shareholders reach an agreement. Mediation is confidential, cost-effective, and preserves business relationships that litigation might destroy.

Arbitration

Arbitration provides a binding decision without going to court. It is often faster, more flexible, and less public than litigation.

The role of shareholder agreements

Clear shareholder agreements that set out dispute resolution procedures can prevent conflict or provide a roadmap for resolution.
