Corporate law and shareholder disputes

Governance, shareholder relations and directors’ liability, in advisory work and in court.

Strategic disagreements, deadlock, a contested decision, a director or shareholder leaving, a liability claim: conflict is part of corporate life. We negotiate and draft shareholders’ agreements and articles, advise on governance and capital transactions, and step in when relations between shareholders break down.

Gaël Peyneau, who ran businesses for more than ten years before becoming a lawyer, brings a first-hand understanding of what directors go through. In litigation, establishing the facts early, often through a pre-action evidence order, frequently decides the outcome.
