Company and Director/Shareholder Disputes

We provide expert legal advice and representation for company shareholder disputes, supporting individuals and businesses across Waikato and New Zealand to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively.

Our Dispute Resolution Team is experienced in managing disputes between shareholders, directors, and companies, helping to protect your interests and maintain business stability.

Disputes can arise from disagreements over company management, profit distribution, share transfers, breaches of shareholder agreements, or conflicts of interest. We assist clients with reviewing shareholder agreements, assessing the merits of a dispute, and advising on the best course of action. Our lawyers are skilled in negotiation, mediation, and court litigation, aiming to resolve disputes promptly and minimise disruption to your business.

We regularly provide advice on the rights and obligations imposed by the Companies Act 1993 and can enforce these through Court applications when appropriate.

We support clients through all stages of the dispute resolution process, including negotiation, settlement discussions, and representation before the courts. Our team provides practical solutions for enforcing shareholder rights, defending claims, and protecting company assets. We also advise on remedies such as buyouts, injunctions, and winding up proceedings where necessary.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering clear, strategic advice that enables you to make informed decisions regarding shareholder disputes. We work collaboratively with other specialist teams within the firm to offer comprehensive support for all your commercial law needs, including governance, risk management, and dispute prevention.
