We advise shareholders of companies in all legal forms on the exercise of their rights, the drafting of shareholders’ agreements and in disputes with co-shareholders or management, including in the context of restructurings.
We assist investors in safeguarding and actively enforcing their shareholder rights, both out of court and in court proceedings. Examples include applications to convene general meetings, the enforcement of special audits under stock corporation law and the appointment of special representatives pursuant to section 147 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
Alongside our comprehensive corporate law expertise, domestic and international clients in this area benefit from our unusually broad contentious experience, in particular our long-standing tactical know-how gained from complex and vigorously contested disputes. Through several landmark decisions, our lawyers have played a significant role in shaping the legal landscape in this field in recent years.
