Shareholder
Disputes

Working in an integrated manner with our Litigation practice, we provide top-tier strategic advice in corporate disputes at both pre-litigation and litigation stages, whether before courts or arbitral tribunals. We seek sophisticated and efficient solutions for corporate controversies involving disputes between minority and majority shareholders, abuse of controlling power, corporate governance matters, internal regulations of management bodies, boards of directors and fiscal councils, as well as other related issues.

Our highly qualified team combines strong commercial insight, the ability to anticipate issues and opponents’ next moves, and a systemic understanding of corporations, shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders involved in a business entity. This ensures effective advocacy and strong outcomes in protecting our clients’ interests.

We have extensive experience before state and federal courts, as well as in the leading mediation and arbitration chambers in Brazil and abroad. All disputes are handled and supervised by a senior partner. Our goal is to deliver swift results, avoiding the prolonged strain associated with corporate disputes, which often carry significant emotional burden and high costs.
