Disagreements between partners can quickly paralyze a company: decisions are blocked, leadership is challenged, and the value of shares is at risk. The sooner a strategy is established, the more options remain open.
Disputes between partners or shareholders
Prendre contact↓Les situations
01 — Conflicts related to shareholders' agreements
Whether it involves ignored pre-emption rights, breaches of non-compete clauses, contested forced or joint exits, or disagreements over share valuation, the firm enforces the agreement or challenges its application when it is being misused.
02 — Exclusion of minority shareholders
Exclusion as provided for in the articles of association must comply with the established procedures and grounds, as well as the rights of the affected partner. The firm defends both partners facing exclusion and companies seeking to implement it.
03 — Abuse of majority power
When a decision is made against the company's interests to favor the majority at the expense of the minority—such as systematic retention of profits, excessive compensation, or self-dealing—the firm seeks to have the decision annulled and damages awarded.
04 — Governance deadlock
When meetings can no longer reach a quorum, a minority opposes vital decisions on principle, or management is paralyzed, the firm assesses the severity of the situation to pursue a negotiated exit, the appointment of an agent to resolve the deadlock, or legal action.
