Shareholder & Management Disputes
Resolving boardroom, promoter and investor conflicts through negotiation, tribunal proceedings and arbitration.
Shareholder and management disputes are rarely just legal — they involve trust, control and the future of the business. We act for promoters, minority shareholders, institutional investors, founders and boards in disputes arising out of shareholders' agreements, joint venture arrangements, succession, governance breakdowns and exit deadlocks. Our approach combines firm advocacy with discreet, commercially-led problem-solving.
Where We Add Value
We frame the dispute strategically from day one — identifying the right forum (NCLT, arbitration, civil court or contractual negotiation), the strongest causes of action and the leverage points that drive resolution. Where the relationship can be preserved, we negotiate governance resets and structured exits; where it cannot, we litigate decisively.
Typical Engagements
These include oppression and mismanagement petitions under Sections 241–242 of the Companies Act, enforcement of pre-emption, tag-along and drag-along rights, breach of shareholders' and joint venture agreements, derivative actions, removal of directors, and disputes over share valuation, transfer or transmission.
