How Can Our Shareholder & Partnership Lawyers Help?

While starting a business with someone else can be a great experience, there may come a time when your vision for the business no longer aligns with them. To ensure you are protected in the event that things go awry, contact the team at Kells for expert shareholder and partnership advice.



Our business partnership lawyers in Wollongong and Sydney 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 be like marriage breakdowns – very personal and very stressful, especially when the shareholders are still trying to operate the business.


Once the dispute arises, Kells can assist you in negotiating a mutually agreeable outcome, whether through informal settlement conference or through formal alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation.


If the dispute turns litigious, Kells 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 settlement or appearing on your behalf in Court.
