Company Law
Company Law
Axiom’s members act in the full spectrum of company law issues, including:
- Company acquisitions or disposals: we provide advice both in relation to the structuring of transactions and in relation to disputes arising from post-completion issues, such as breach of warranties, payment and calculation of earn-out consideration or compliance with restrictive covenants
- Shareholders’ disputes: the most common action in this area is the minority shareholders’ action for unfair prejudice in terms of section 994 of the Companies Act 2006. But complex disputes between shareholders also arise outside that context
- Actions relating to directors’ duties: these can be stand-alone actions (such as actions regarding gratuitous alienations and unfair preferences) or can arise during disqualification proceedings
We also advise and represent companies, creditors and shareholders in relation to corporate restructurings, schemes of arrangement and reductions of capital and a wide range of corporate finance matters. There tend to be related legal issues regarding tax and pensions which are part of our service to clients. Whatever the issue, contentious or non-contentious, Axiom Advocates’ members have the experience to advise you.
