Complex Shareholder Dispute Rapidly Resolved
In a complex shareholder dispute, ME Law successfully guided our client through a challenging situation involving a corporation that lacked a shareholder agreement.

ME Law facilitated negotiations that lasted over two months, ultimately leading to our client buying out the opposing shareholder's stake. This resolution ensured the continued success of the newly established business, safeguarding it from potential litigation and securing its future in the industry.
Additionally, this case involved a detailed assessment of the business’s financials, where ME Law collaborated with expert accountants to accurately determine the value of the business and each shareholder's contributions. By separating the business from the personal conflicts of the shareholders, ME Law ensured that the corporation could continue to thrive without the risk of further disputes undermining its operations.
