Shareholder Disputes

Shareholder Disputes

We partner with our clients to manage risk and to mitigate the commercial impacts of litigation on the core business. When litigation is unavoidable, our Litigation team focuses on the commercial objectives of clients, while assessing legal, commercial, and reputational risk. We analyse the negotiating weaknesses of your counter-parties and devise optimum procedural tactics or creative settlement approaches.

We are known for our highly-disciplined approach to project and cost management, and, accordingly, we ensure efficient allocation of work and cost-control to remain within agreed budgets.

Our strategic approach to any new dispute resolution involves commencing a detailed strategy advice memo, which covers matters such as:

  • Our evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the dispute, including relevant Sharia issues, precedent judgments, and the likely approach of the judiciary;
  • Likely timescales for different litigation or settlement approaches, and the potential impacts on business continuity of each route; and
  • Likely approaches of relevant regulatory and governmental authorities.
