Members have a wealth of experience in contentious areas of company law such as shareholder disputes involving just and equitable winding up, section 459 petitions, and issues involving directors' or other officers' duties and powers, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and conflicts of interest. Members advise and draft documents on mergers and acquisitions; corporate reconstructions (including reductions, retention and restructuring of capital); fixed and floating charges (including their validity and priority); shareholders' agreements; share valuations; general meetings and resolutions; dividend payments; and corporate management.

We have substantial experience of many regulatory aspects of company law, including participating in investigations under section 447 of the Companies Act 1985, and drafting and advising upon the reports and affidavits based on the results of the investigations. Members have also been involved in public interest petitions under section 124A of the Insolvency Act 1986.

Members have experience of company disputes in a number of different overseas jurisdictions including the USA and the Channel Islands. Members of Chambers also regularly appear in company directors' disqualification proceedings.
