Corporate Litigation & Shareholders' Disputes

Corporate governance relies on a balance between the powers of shareholders, directors and corporate bodies. When a disagreement disrupts that balance, it may prevent decisions from being taken, undermine the conduct of the company’s affairs or jeopardise its value. These issues are particularly sensitive in Luxembourg, where many companies form part of international investment, holding or group structures.

Our Corporate Litigation and Shareholders’ Disputes team advises companies, majority and minority shareholders, directors and board members facing disputes concerning the management, control or organisation of Luxembourg companies. We act in disputes relating to the performance or breach of shareholders’ agreements, majority or minority shareholder abuse, decisions of corporate bodies, voting rights, dividend distributions, and the removal or liability of directors. Our involvement begins at the pre-litigation stage, enabling us to assess the situation, preserve the relevant rights and seek a negotiated solution where possible. Where court proceedings become necessary, we represent our clients before the competent courts and assist them with the enforcement of the resulting decisions.

Our team combines more than twenty years of litigation experience with in-depth knowledge of corporate law. This dual expertise enables us to assess internal power dynamics, the impact of contemplated measures on corporate governance and the procedural remedies available to restore the proper functioning of the company or protect the interests of its shareholders.
