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.
