Corporate disputes are an unfortunate part of corporate life. Achour Law Firm has substantial experience in working with clients to devise strategies to avoid possible corporate disputes and to resolve effectively those that do occur.

Our work involves corporate disputes such as breach of contract and warranty cases, disputes over the proper construction of agreements, shareholder disputes, disputes over joint ventures, and Mergers & acquisitions disputes. In addition, we regularly advise on corporate governance related litigation. We recognise that prevention is better than cure and regularly advise clients on risk management issues.

We understand that corporations today want lawyers who understand their business and we take the time to do just that. We are also aware that a large number of corporate transactions these days trigger litigation and require litigation support in the preparatory and execution phases. We and our clients appreciate that an approach to a particular legal problem needs to be not only the best solution to that specific problem but also one that does not harm other aspects of the client’s business.

Our experience enables us to find practical and tailored solutions to the problems of corporate clients as well as smaller enterprises across all industry sectors.

We encourage the use of mediation and negotiation, which focuses on resolving corporate disputes at an early stage to avoid the need for litigation 

We are experienced in :

• Unfair prejudice and minority protection actions.
• Deadlocked board disputes.
• Disputes about directors’ fiduciary duties.
• Joint venture disputes.

• Removal of shareholders and directors.
• Negligence claims.
