At Nath Solicitors, we regularly advise on complex cross-border shareholder disputes involving overseas shareholders, international businesses, foreign assets, and multi-jurisdictional conflicts.
These disputes often present challenges that go far beyond a standard shareholder disagreement. Questions of jurisdiction, enforcement, overseas assets, international evidence, and competing legal systems can significantly affect the outcome. Early strategic advice is therefore critical.
Our Approach
Cross-border shareholder disputes require a clear and commercially focused strategy from the outset. Our first priority is to identify the most effective forum for resolving the dispute, assess the location of relevant assets, and evaluate the practical options available to protect our client’s position. We consider not only the legal issues but also the commercial realities, including business continuity, leverage between the parties, and the preservation of shareholder value.
We regularly act in disputes involving allegations of unfair conduct, exclusion from management, misuse of company assets, breaches of duty, shareholder deadlock, ownership disputes, and conflicts concerning international business operations.
Where necessary, we work closely with trusted overseas lawyers and professional advisers to coordinate action across multiple jurisdictions and ensure a consistent strategic approach.
Our focus is always on achieving the best commercial outcome for our clients while navigating the complexities of international disputes efficiently and effectively.
We regularly advise on:
- Overseas shareholders
- International business disputes
- Foreign assets and asset tracing
- Cross-border shareholder conflicts
- Multi-jurisdiction shareholder litigation
- Shareholder deadlock involving international businesses
- International enforcement of judgments and awards
- Cross-border unfair prejudice claims
- Director and shareholder disputes with international elements
- International arbitration involving shareholder disputes
- Emergency injunctions and interim relief
- Coordination of proceedings across multiple jurisdictions
Recent Case
We advised in a substantial cross-border shareholder dispute concerning the ownership and control of valuable intellectual property rights, trademarks, and commercial assets located across multiple jurisdictions including the Middle East, Europe and in the USA.
The dispute concerned shareholder rights combined with trademark rights where the minority shareholders alleged that the trademark belonged them, even though it had been created and registered by the majority.
Working alongside overseas lawyers, we coordinated parallel proceedings in different countries and secured a highly favourable outcome for our client winning the action before the courts.
