HHG Boardroom Q&A — Shareholder and director disputes

Disputes between directors and shareholders of private companies are an unfortunate reality, giving rise to ugly and costly outcomes. A standard company constitution will rarely provide the means to resolve them. So what are the grounds which give rise to disputes and what can be done to minimise the likelihood and consequences of disputes? What options are available if a solution cannot be found?

Join HHG Legal Group's Timothy Colcutt and Jordan Hurley to discuss how disputes arise and the choices available to shareholders and clients to resolve disputes and minimise the fallout, including:

- Considering the company constitution;
- What constitutes oppressive conduct;
- Grounds which give rise to oppressive conduct claims;
- Remedial action to address oppressive conduct;
- Winding up;
- Alternative dispute resolution options and traps;
- Potential law reform and the future; and
- Effective and ineffective shareholders and unit holder’s agreements.

Light refreshments will be provided.
