Understanding Shareholder and Partnership Disputes

Disputes between shareholders and partners is more common than you would expect and can be detrimental to a company’s success especially when involving financial and succession matters. Oftentimes, they are unnecessary but not resolving them internally leads to large cases that might be blown out of proportion. The most common cause of such disputes is the breach of the shareholder agreement. These breaches can include the case in which a shareholder sells their shares while violating the agreement, or even terminating the agreement despite the unwillingness to do so of the other shareholders.

Simply put, these disputes are disagreements between shareholders and partners about the business operations of their company. Since they have financial stakes in the company, chances are that tensions would be higher than that of a normal business dispute.
