About

Provided by St John's Chambers

Our Company team has extensive experience acting for companies, directors and shareholders in a broad range of disputes. Several members are ranked in the top tiers of Chambers UK and The Legal 500, reflecting the team’s depth of expertise and reputation.

We are regularly instructed in shareholder disputes, including unfair prejudice petitions under section 994 Companies Act 2006, as well as disputes concerning Share Purchase Agreements, warranty claims and restrictive covenants. Our barristers frequently advise and act in cases involving directors’ duties, including breaches of statutory and fiduciary obligations, and in derivative actions.

The team has represented companies in high-value and complex claims involving bribery, secret commissions, and the misuse of confidential information and trade secrets. We also advise on insolvency issues and company administration matters such as general meetings and governance disputes.

Our barristers are recognised for pragmatic, commercially-focused advice that is clear, timely and aligned with clients’ business goals. We act for businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to FTSE-100 companies, across sectors and industries, and are instructed by leading law firms across the South West, South Wales and nationwide. With experience at every level of the courts, we are well equipped to handle urgent applications for freezing orders, search orders and injunctions.
