Shareholder and Partnership Disputes
Small company or partnership disagreements are common when there are multiple parties involved. However, when these small disagreements become serious between shareholders of the company or partners, other avenues of resolution need to be explored. In the context of shareholders, a claim for oppression under the Corporations Act 2001 may be an option but may result in the winding up of the company. Speak to our expert Corporate & Commercial Lawyers about resolution options for your situation.
Trust Disputes
Trusts are set up for a number of different reasons and can provide tax benefits. Usually set up in the family context, trusts provide avenues to split income and/or control assets. As useful as they may be, trust disputes are also common. Common issues include taxation, income division, entitlements and even the validity of the trust itself. Ask our expert Corporate & Commercial Lawyers about your trust concerns.

All company incorporations are governed by the Corporations Act 2001 and overseen by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). Before setting up your company, you will need to determine the type of company you wish to set up and the appropriate internal governance structure.
