Corporate Commercial - Shareholder Dispute Services
As lawyers, we are acutely aware that everything in life and business has a “beginning, middle and an end” and the best time to provide for the “end” is, naturally, at the “beginning”. However, whether or not the founders of a business have taken the time and effort to negotiate and put in place a comprehensive shareholder (or other) agreement to facilitate the smooth and efficient unwinding of a business, you will need experienced and able counsel to guide you and your accountant/valuator through the “break-up” process.
Not unlike marital break-ups, shareholder disputes and corporate divorces are often very emotional, lengthy, expensive and draining experiences. Often, by the time legal counsel gets involved, the differences among the parties are irreconcilable and the dispute then really becomes a disguised transaction.
By combining both litigation and corporate expertise, Wilson Vukelich can guide you through every step of the process including:
- Understanding Your Overall Needs and Objectives
- Reviewing Your Corporate Documentation (including Shareholder Agreement where Applicable)
- Assessing Your Overall Leverage
- Considering Tax Implications with Your Accountant
- Working with You and Your Accountant to Prepare a Negotiating Strategy
- Initiating and Managing the Litigation Process
- obtaining from the Courts mandatory orders, injunctions, and damages awards which protect our clients rights as corporate shareholders
- Conducting “Friendly” Negotiations
- Concluding the exit transactions
