Shareholder Disputes

Spurling Legal acts for directors, shareholders, and companies in complex disputes concerning ownership, control, and the conduct of those in charge.

Shareholder conflicts often arise at critical moments in a business’s life cycle – when governance breaks down, relationships deteriorate, or key decisions are challenged. We provide strategic, commercial advice to help clients protect their interests and resolve disputes with minimal business disruption.

Spurling Legal’s approach is grounded in prior experience across a wide spectrum of shareholder matters, including oppression claims under section 232 of the Corporations Act 2001, derivative actions brought on behalf of companies, disputes over share transfers and dilution, contested boardroom decisions, and attempts to misuse administration processes to defeat shareholder rights. Whether you’re seeking to enforce minority protections, defend against oppressive conduct claims, or challenge the validity of resolutions or meetings, the firm brings clarity and strength to the process.

From urgent injunctions to multi-day oppression trials, Spurling Legal provides strategic representation in shareholder disputes where control, equity, and business continuity are on the line.
