Frequently Asked Questions
What should you do in the event of a shareholder dispute in a family business?
The first step is to have a lawyer conduct a thorough legal assessment: reviewing the articles of association, any shareholders’ agreement, the governance structure, and any misconduct that may have occurred. This assessment identifies the available courses of action (negotiation, mediation, emergency measures, litigation) and enables the development of a tailored strategy. Early legal intervention is often decisive, as initial steps such as board convocations or management decisions can create accomplished facts that are difficult to reverse.
How long does commercial litigation take before a French commercial court?
The time required to resolve disputes before the commercial courts remains significant and largely depends on the complexity of the case. This is why our approach systematically includes an assessment of available interim and conservatory measures - summary proceedings, ex parte applications, protective seizures - which enable our clients to secure their rights without waiting for the outcome of proceedings on the merits.
