We advise on scenarios such as directors facing pressure to step down; shareholders excluded from key decisions; partners managing contentious departures; and owners planning structured transitions.

These are sensitive and often time-critical issues; we help you address them with clarity, confidence and a firm understanding of the options available.

When key business decisions carry legal, reputational and other consequences, directors, shareholders and partners require tailored, commercially focused legal advice. We specialise in guiding directors, shareholders and partners through their legal duties, risks and options, particularly where internal relationships have shifted, or an exit is being considered.

Directors

For directors, we provide clear guidance on statutory and fiduciary duties; potential exposure; board dynamics; and the implications of resignation or removal. We offer a calm, strategic approach in situations involving disputes and deadlock, ensuring you act decisively and within the scope of your obligations.

Shareholders

For shareholders, we offer pragmatic advice on rights; restrictions; and exit pathways. Whether you are seeking to protect a minority position, negotiate a buy-out or respond to a breakdown in trust, we can help you understand your position and secure outcomes that safeguard both your equity and influence.

Partners

For partners, we deliver bespoke objective advice on partnership duties, departures, restrictive covenants and succession planning. When relationships become strained or a transition is required, we provide a structured and measured approach that minimises disruption while protecting your long-term interests.

Please do get in touch to discuss the particulars of your situation and our team will be ready to assist.
