S. Horowitz is a leading firm in resolving disputes among shareholders, directors, joint venture partners, and business stakeholders. We represent public and private companies, funds organised as limited partnerships, shareholders, individual directors, boards of directors and partnerships in high-stakes conflicts, offering strategic counsel through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
Our experienced team brings deep expertise in corporate governance, fiduciary obligations, and complex ownership disputes. We understand the sensitive nature of conflicts between business partners and the potential impact on ongoing operations, corporate reputation, and stakeholder value.
Our extensive experience includes acting on claims relating to derivative actions, directors’ breach of fiduciary duties, breach of joint venture agreements, disputes over directors’ and controlling shareholders’ conflicts of interest, disputes between consortium members of infrastructure project companies.
Our team is fully aware that director, shareholder and partnership disputes are not only damaging to a business but can be highly emotive. We work closely with clients to develop tailored strategies that align with their commercial objectives while preserving valuable relationships when possible. We have gained vast experience at resolving these disputes in a collaborative manner, often using mediation as a means to settle matters. However, where necessary, our formidable team of litigators will vigorously pursue or defend individual, derivative and class action claims through arbitration or court proceedings at all levels.
