How Can Our Shareholder & Partnership Lawyers in Sydney Help?

Starting a business with a partner can be an exciting and rewarding journey, but as the business evolves, there is always the possibility for differing visions or unexpected challenges to emerge. Protecting your interests from the very beginning is important so you can manage these matters with confidence.

At Kells, our expert shareholder and partnership lawyers in Sydney provide personalised advice to support your business relationships. We can help manage your business relationship from the establishment of your business with structuring advice, including:


  • Drafting shareholder or partnership agreements
  • Preparing buy/sell agreements, allowing insurance to fund unplanned exits due to death or total and permanent disability


Shareholder and partnership disputes can feel as challenging and emotionally charged as a relationship breakdown, especially when business operations must continue amidst the tension. The intertwined nature of personal and professional relationships often magnifies the stress, with disagreements over key decisions, financial interests, or future directions placing immense pressure on both parties.


Once a conflict arises, Kells is here to support you in finding a resolution that works for all parties, whether through informal settlement discussions or structured alternative dispute resolution processes like mediation.


If the dispute turns litigious, our lawyers are experienced in a range of Supreme Court Corporations List Matters, and can guide you through the process of litigation, including:


  • Providing honest and pragmatic advice
  • Managing the conduct of your litigation matter
  • Negotiating settlements or appearing on your behalf in Court.
