Corporate governance, directors’ liability and shareholder disputes

Corporate governance

Entrepreneurs want to focus on growing their business. Strong governance and supervision are essential to long-term success, requiring a proactive and professional approach. Our specialists have deep expertise in corporate law and regulatory frameworks. We work closely with you to strengthen your organization’s governance structure in a clear, practical, and effective manner.

Directors’ liability

Directors and supervisory board members face significant liability risks, particularly in times of financial distress or major corporate decisions. Our specialists help companies and directors anticipate and manage these risks. Where necessary or unavoidable, we provide strong representation in litigation or other proceedings.

Shareholder disputes

Conflicts can emerge when the interests and objectives of shareholders, directors or other stakeholders no longer align. These disputes can have a major impact on business operations and continuity. Our specialists help assess risks, navigate complex shareholder dynamics, and develop effective, workable solutions.
