Companies and partnerships are commercial vehicles that people use to operate their businesses and protect their assets. To function effectively, it is important that those people have strong, transparent professional relationships, built on trust and mutual respect.

Sometimes these relationships break down and disputes between partners, or directors and shareholders may arise. Disputes can arise from:

​

• Personality clashes

​

• Different management styles

​

• Disagreements over profit distribution and remuneration

​

• Ethical concerns

​

• Unequal contributions to the business

​​

When a dispute arises, it is essential it is resolved quickly and efficiently so that valuable commercial assets are not lost or wasted on litigation and legal expenses.
