As part of our advisory services, we are regularly involved in matters relating to fiduciary duties, shareholder rights and corporate governance, with a particular focus on dispute resolution and aligning corporate structures with our clients’ objectives. We take into account our clients’ specific context and sector of activity when drafting shareholder agreements, revising articles of association or guiding them through contentious issues.

Your partners in shareholder challenges

Most of our clients come to us when they are facing difficulties related to shareholder relations or board conduct, including allegations of unfair prejudice, breach of fiduciary duties or conflicts of interest. These situations are rarely straightforward, as they often require consideration of multiple personal, financial and strategic factors that are not addressed in the company’s articles of association or in company law. If the case involves an industry we have not worked in before, we take the time to understand how it typically operates. This knowledge, combined with our legal expertise, enables us to propose realistic, sustainable and workable solutions. We are rigorous in our legal analysis, but we know that our clients need results, not just opinions. That is why we explore other legal avenues, challenge assumptions and propose alternative solutions to help them achieve the results they need.

From analysis to precise actions

In shareholder disputes, our mission is to enforce and defend shareholders’ rights, advise them on possible remedies and help them negotiate settlement or restructuring agreements that protect their interests. As needed, we draft new or amended shareholder agreements and articles of association to prevent future problems and clarify roles, responsibilities and rights within the company. This work is carried out on a case-by-case basis. Our accessible and responsive team listens, analyses and acts with determination and integrity, paying particular attention to the commercial dynamics, the personalities involved and the long-term implications of each option.
