Avoiding disputes
To minimise the likelihood of disputes, we recommend that you have a shareholders agreement for the company. This is important as directors often have shares in the company.
A shareholders agreement can outline the dispute resolution processes to be taken in the event of a dispute and set penalties for directors should they fail to act in the best interests of the business.
If there is no shareholders agreement governing the directors, alternative dispute resolution is recommended.
