We were pleased to co-host this event with Keidan Harrison at London International Disputes Week 2021.

The panel was moderated by Paul Downes QC, and included Nicola Allsop from Quadrant, Luke Harrison and Kit Smith from Keidan Harrison and Neil Ashton of StoneTurn.

The pandemic has caused the tide to go out for many businesses leaving shareholders to discover that they have been swimming naked! Investors have been paying closer attention to underperforming investments, leading to an increase in the discovery of fraud and wrongdoing by directors. Further, parties are making moves to take control of struggling businesses and ousting underperforming business partners. This session explores the catalysts for current shareholder disputes, the themes appearing in cases before the courts and in arbitration and practical ways to seek to resolve disputes in a cost-effective fashion.
