When shareholders disagree for extended periods of time regarding the company’s management, its development or its conveyance, the most reasonable alternative is often separation.

Thémis advises you in order to best protect the company from such conflicts, by providing assistance in negotiating and implementing separation agreements (withdrawal, sale of company shares, an executive’s resignation or dismissal, termination of the employment contract of an executive or shareholder on the payroll…).  The firm also performs all the formalities required for making the changes implicit in these acts  on the company’s behalf .

The management of such a conflict can sometimes be anticipated from the start of the company or at the time of the creation of a partnership, by the signing of a shareholders agreement or by adding certain clauses in the Company’s Articles of Association which govern the procedures for conveying the company’s shares, the price thereof, the shareholders’ preferential rights from the standpoint of the procedures for evaluating the shares and purchase prioritization.

In the last resort, Thémis also defends the company’s interests or those of its chief executive in court, as plaintiff or defendant, in cases involving conflicts between shareholders.
