- Partnership Disputes
- Shareholder Disputes
- Creditors Rights / Bankruptcy / Secured Unsecured Creditors
Complicated legal disputes can arise when partners or shareholders have competing interests or they suspect company mismanagement. Types of common disputes can include breaches of fiduciary duty, whereby a partner fails to serve their duty to act in the best interest of the company, or a disagreement over the way the work and resources are being allocated or distributed.
Oftentimes, these disputes cannot be resolved without the court’s involvement. The civil litigation department at Hummingbird Lawyers LLP is armed with knowledge, experience and success in partnership disputes, shareholder disputes, as well as advocating for both secured and unsecured creditors’ rights.
