Shareholder's Disputes
When shareholders no longer agree, quick action needs to be taken. The value of the business is directly affected by disputes that drag on. BCF’s professionals understand this and act accordingly. BCF offers a three-pronged commitment to supporting shareholders.
First, availability. When a dispute arises between shareholders, the BCF lawyer you contact clears his or her agenda, and makes it a priority to be available to you. Identifying the sources of the problem and defining a resolution strategy cannot wait. BCF is here 24/7 to meet your needs.
Second, implementing interim management. When tensions rise among shareholders, the company’s business is at risk. BCF prioritizes implementation of all necessary and useful mechanisms to protect shareholder equity while awaiting final dispute resolution. Otherwise, the solution may come too late.
Third, identifying and implementing a permanent solution. With the help of the tax, corporate law and labour law teams, lawyers from the shareholders’ dispute group identify, with the shareholders that they represent, permanent solutions to the problems encountered and take the necessary measures to enforce them.
By drafting letters, contracts or procedures, through representation as part of mediation, arbitration or before the courts, or more simply, through negotiations or simple strategic advice, our team of professionals distinguish themselves through their unfaltering care for the interests of the shareholder, protecting his or her equity and identifying and implementing customized, practical and sustainable solutions.
