Disputes in Family Businesses
Disputes between the shareholders of family-controlled businesses occur frequently and are often caused by differing personal and family interests, or by different opinions regarding business decisions. Such disputes not only strain the relationships between the shareholders but, since family members often manage the businesses, they can interfere with important business decisions.
We have extensive experience in handling such conflicts and advising shareholders of family-controlled businesses on establishing suitable dispute resolution mechanisms before a conflict arises as well as in conflict situations. These include implementing alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation.
We advise and represent family members or their businesses in out-of-court disputes as well as in court proceedings.
