Shareholder Disputes

When shareholders engage in a struggle for control over a business, or their rights as shareholders, legal action is sometimes necessary in order to resolve the dispute. If your authority is being challenged, investment is threatened, or you disagree with decisions made by another shareholder or an executive, consult with a knowledgeable lawyer. At Brown Litigation, we represent shareholders, officers, and directors in a variety of business matters, including proceedings under prevailing Business Corporations legislation.

With extensive commercial litigation experience, our lawyers keep our business clients informed every step of the way. We also provide risk management services in order to avoid future disputes and litigation.
