Gareth's Specialisms

Shareholder Disputes

Business partnerships can sometimes go awry. A well-drafted shareholder agreement will define what happens when the relationship breaks down.

If you haven't got a shareholder agreement, and you can't agree how the business will be dealt with, then it's really important to get proper advice as soon as possible in order to protect your assets. Gareth knows the options and can advise you what to do.

Breach of directors' duties

When shareholders fall out, it's common for one party to allege that the other has acted in breach of the statutory duties imposed upon all directors.

Early decisive action can save you thousands of pounds and protect your livelihood. Gareth is experienced and skilled in pursuing both claims and defences in relation to allegation of wrongdoing by directors.
