Five common causes of shareholder disputes and how our Brisbane shareholder dispute lawyers can help

Shareholder disputes can emerge for various reasons, often stemming from conflicting interests or misunderstandings regarding roles and responsibilities. Some common matters our shareholder dispute lawyers have been a part of include:

1. Breach of shareholder agreements

Disputes frequently arise when one or more shareholders fail to comply with agreed terms. This can include breaches related to voting rights, major decision making, capital raising, dividend distribution or share transfers.

2. Disagreements on business direction

Shareholders may have differing views on company strategy, expansion plans or operational decisions. These disagreements can create deadlock situations, stall progress and affect profitability.

3. Unequal contribution and profit distribution

Tensions can build when certain shareholders feel that their financial or operational contributions are not fairly recognised or compensated, leading to disputes over salary, dividends or bonuses.

4. Mismanagement or misuse of company funds

If a shareholder, director or key executive is suspected of financial misconduct, fraud or improper fund allocation, it can result in severe trust issues and legal battles.

5. Shareholder oppression and minority rights violations

Majority shareholders sometimes make decisions that negatively impact minority shareholders, such as issuing new shares that dilute ownership or restricting voting rights. Protecting minority shareholder rights is essential in maintaining a fair and equitable business environment.

Given the severity of these matters, having qualified legal counsel is imperative. With a specialisation in commercial law, ADVIILAW is well-equipped to provide tailored advice to assist you with your matter. We strive to ensure cost-effective, proactive resolutions that maintain your business’s reputation.

Ingrid Flemons

I highly recommend Zoran Gelic, for your legal representation. Zoran has been outstanding, the moment I engaged him to represent myself in a legal matter, regarding a retaining wall, constructed by a developer neighbouring my property. His knowledge on retaining walls is exemplary & he quickly identified the wrongs committed, involving the construction of the retaining wall. His confident demeanour, & approach to his role as my Lawyer, gave me the same confidence every time I was in communication with him. He is pedantic in his work & took time in producing quality communication with the other party, producing a settlement offer, from the other party, with his very first correspondence. He understands the emotional impact, legal matters involving property can create, but he quickly eases those emotions & reminds you of the facts involved in legislation & law. Thank you for your representation Zoran!

Natalie Dugec

Great service from Alice at ADVIILAW in completing my legal requirements and providing essential advice during the setup of my new business. Alice was easy to get along with and it felt like I was working with a real person who was genuinely invested in my business venture. This was a pleasant surprise, as I had fears that I would potentially run into another stereotypical lawyer that has the personality of a door handle and sees you as just another dollar figure on their accounts! Insightful and knowledgeable, Alice would without fail get back to my inquires within the day (usually within a couple of hours) which was essential to me as I was dealing with a variety of moving parts in the set up of the business that almost always required immediate attention. I would thoroughly recommend Alice and ADVIILAW partner Zoran to anyone that requires their service. If need be, I will definitely be using them again.
