An increasing occurrence in modern business is conflict between shareholders or other owners of the business. Typically this can arise when a family business is passed to a second generation and the new shareholders cannot agree on how the business should run or who should be the dominant party. It can also rise where two people set up a business jointly and have differences of opinion regarding the future developments.
We have a very wide experience in dealing with these situations and advising possible solutions. This involves assisting with negotiations to resolve the conflict, advising on the taxation implications of the solution and helping with the raising of the finance required to achieve the solution.
