Corporate Litigation & Shareholders’ Disputes

We have a dedicated team of lawyers with an exclusive focus on contentious corporate law disputes — they are among the most common disputes we handle. We specialise in high-stakes shareholder and partnership disputes, as well as complex disputes involving breaches of directors’ and fiduciary duties. 

Our cases frequently involve novel, precedent-setting issues and intricate multijurisdictional litigation. Our team’s depth of expertise is demonstrated by our involvement in a multi-jurisdiction shareholders’ dispute involving more than 60 suits and appeals to the Privy Council in the UK, the Singapore Court of Appeal, and the Court of Appeal of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court.

Beyond the courtroom, we provide strategic advice on corporate governance related matters such as take-over bids, buyout procedures and company general meetings. Our team has acted for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and private and public corporations in resolving boardroom tussles and advising on rights and remedies. 

We understand that corporate disputes — whether arising from shareholder conflicts or the misconduct of a company or its directors — carry commercial consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom, such reputational risks and straining of vital relationships with investors and regulators. Equipped with over three decades of experience, we are adept at navigating the most effective pathway to an outcome that minimises commercial disruption and protects your long-term interests.
