Frequently asked
questions
What causes business or shareholder disputes?
Can shareholder disputes be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Many disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, particularly where parties want to preserve the ongoing relationship or avoid costly litigation. Alternative dispute resolution can often provide a faster and more flexible outcome than court proceedings.
What legal options are available if a dispute cannot be resolved?
If negotiations are unsuccessful, legal options may include enforcing shareholder agreements, seeking court orders, or applying for remedies under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Courts can intervene in situations such as oppressive conduct toward shareholders or breaches of directors’ duties.
