Shareholder matters cover the rights and protections of people who own shares in companies, including how votes, dividends, information access, and governance are managed. A solicitor in this area handles drafting and negotiating shareholder agreements, running or defending disputes about oppression, breaches of fiduciary duty, or unfair prejudice, and advising on matters such as share capital changes, mergers, and reorganisations under the Companies Act 2006. They also assist with raising disputes at general meetings, acting on injunctions or petitions, and pursuing or defending derivative or personal claims on behalf of shareholders. The work is shaped by corporate governance standards, statutory remedies, and the need to protect a shareholder’s position in complex corporate structures.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor explains the provisions governing share classes, rights attached to shares, and the procedure for general meetings. They handle the drafting of shareholder agreements, notices and resolutions, and advise on remedies for minority protection, oppression, or mismanagement, including the use of court procedures such as petitions to the High Court in appropriate cases.

Harender Branch

Tagged solicitor Harender Branch

I would most definitely recommend Branch Austin McCormick LLP. All stakeholders were looking at an exit strategy and successful sale of our company. I must say Harender and her team guided us through the process from start to finish and always there to answer any questions and protect our interest from start to finish.

Keith Melling

Tagged solicitor Keith Melling

Keith Melling and his team have provided invaluable guidance to Next Generation Travel on a wide range of matters, from company formation to management share incentive schemes, acquisitions, and complex issues like trademark infringements. Their advice is always clear, comprehensive and tailored to our business needs, allowing us to navigate legal challenges with confidence. We have worked with major Manchester based law firms in the past, but the level of service and expertise we receive from Napthens, under the leadership of Keith, rival those of much larger firms, and at a much more competitive price.

Arj ArulRachel Chambers

Tagged solicitors Arj Arul and Rachel Chambers

Arj & Rachel spared no effort to help me navigate a really complex issue spanning the Companies Act and Articles of Association. This entailed really extensive reading into an issue that had been unresolved for over a year, and very swiftly the position I could take was defined clearly with full explanations given at all times. I'll will never forget how at one point he responded to developments and provided me with guidance with virtually no notice. If you want really deft handling of a situation with the highest professionalism, you have reached the right place. In every way the service provided was deft, considerate - and altogether outstanding.
