Shareholder Disputes

Disputes between shareholders and close business partners can lead to rifts in the working relationship, the dissolution of their business enterprise, and a diminished level of investor confidence. Resolving shareholder disputes often requires skillful, sensitive, and stalwart negotiation tactics.
