In today's economic environment, shareholder disputes are increasingly common — and increasingly complex. This webinar provides a practical overview of the statutory and equitable remedies available to shareholders, and when and how those remedies can be deployed effectively.

Presented by experienced dispute resolution practitioners, the session will delve into key New Zealand authorities and procedural considerations, including unfair prejudice claims, derivative actions, injunctions and winding- up applications. It will also address strategic and evidential issues that commonly arise in shareholder disputes.

Attendees will leave equipped to identify viable remedies early, assess litigation risk, and advise clients with confidence on enforcement and dispute resolution pathways.
