Shareholder Disputes

Shareholder disputes are an inevitable part of business, often arising from differing priorities, misunderstandings or breaches of trust. Left unresolved, these disputes can threaten the stability of a company and jeopardize its future. At MacDonald Associates, our team of corporate and litigation lawyers work collaboratively to address issues relating to rights under shareholders’ agreements, allegations of mismanagement, unfair or prejudicial treatment, forced buyouts, valuation disagreements, restrictive covenants and dividend distribution.

While many shareholder disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, some require litigation to achieve the desired outcome. Our experienced litigators regularly represent clients in the Commercial List, securing judgments, declarations and injunctions to enforce their rights and protect their interests.
