...including shareholder disputes and warranty claims
Blake Lapthorn solicitors has a breadth
and depth of experience both nationally and internationally in
advising companies, directors and shareholders in relation to
disputes arising from company affairs.
These disputes can seriously impact upon both
the short and long term running and success of a business if not
dealt with swiftly and effectively. Our specialist Commercial Litigation and Dispute
Resolution experts provide straightforward,
decisive and commercial advice and are skilled negotiators.
As well as being highly effective litigators, our team of
experts guide our clients through the range of alternative dispute
resolution mechanisms that may be utilised in appropriate cases to
minimise costs and secure results. As well as litigating
cases to trial, we regularly undertake cases that are successfully
resolved through adjudication, arbitration, expert determination
and mediation. Indeed, the team's approach to mediating
disputes is strengthened by several of our experts' dual
qualification as mediators through Blake Lapthorn's own nationally
accredited mediation service, BL
Resolve.
We are able to offer integrated tax advice through our
Corporate Tax team on the various
litigation and dispute resolution options that we consider as well
as employment advice through our Employment team, where this is an
issue.
Examples of the matters upon which we advise
and represent our clients include:
- directors' duties and disqualification
- boardroom disputes
- minority shareholder claims including just
and equitable winding-up, unfair prejudice petitions and derivative
actions
- majority shareholder claims
- breach of shareholder agreements
- company governance disputes
- breach of warranty and indemnity claims
- joint venture disputes
- corporate fraud.
