Shareholder & Minority Rights Disputes

Shareholder & Minority Rights Disputes: Protecting Your Interests with Precision

Navigating shareholder and director relationships requires more than just legal knowledge—it demands strategic foresight and a firm grasp of corporate governance principles. At Silvester Legal, we specialise in protecting shareholder and minority rights, ensuring fair treatment and accountability in corporate affairs.

Understanding Your Legal Rights

Singapore’s legal framework governing shareholder and director relationships is rooted in the Companies Act, alongside regulations from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Shareholder rights, directors’ duties, and corporate governance obligations are strictly regulated to ensure transparency, accountability, and fair treatment. However, disputes often arise due to conflicts of interest, poor governance, mismanagement, or exclusion of minority shareholders from decision-making.

Preventing & Resolving Shareholder Disputes

When disputes emerge, early intervention is key. Delaying action can lead to costly, prolonged legal battles and business disruption. Our team provides:

✔ Pre-dispute advisory services to assess risks and explore resolutions before escalation.
✔ Independent analysis and expert evidence to support your position.
✔ Strategic dispute resolution through negotiation, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
