When dialogue is no longer enough
A disagreement between founders or with other shareholders can paralyze a company in a matter of weeks. General meeting deadlocks, abuse of majority or minority power, breach of shareholders' agreements, exclusion of a director: these situations demand a quick and structured response.
Our Typical Interventions
- Audit of the situation;
- Analysis of power dynamics and implementation of a strategy;
- Amicable negotiation and mediation between parties;
- Drafting of settlement and separation agreements;
- Execution of restructuring and group divisions; and
- Enforcement of shareholders' agreement clauses: drag-along, buy or sell, exclusion, removal.
Our Approach
We always prioritize negotiated resolution when possible. Our in-depth knowledge of corporate law and governance issues allows us to build robust strategies. When litigation seems necessary, or even indispensable, we work with partner firms to manage the matter before the courts.
Who is this for?
Operational partners disagreeing on strategy. Investment funds misaligned with management's corporate policy. Minority shareholders whose rights are violated. Majority shareholders facing a blocking minority. Directors facing removal.
