Common questions

Worth knowing.

Can a shareholder be forced to sell?+

Sometimes, but the route depends on the company documents, the conduct involved and the available legal remedies. Early advice is essential.

Should I start court proceedings?+

Not necessarily. Strong preparation often creates leverage for a negotiated outcome. Litigation is one tool, not the default destination.
