Shareholder Disputes & Breach of Shareholders’ Agreements

In privately owned limited companies, directors and shareholders are often the same individuals, with shareholders frequently involved in the management of the company. Shareholders’ Agreements are crucial for ensuring smooth operations, especially when shareholders are also family members. Though ideally these agreements remain uncontroversial, disputes can arise, particularly regarding accusations of breaches of these agreements.
