Lawyer | Partner | Disputes | Liability

How can we help you?

Every day, the lawyers at Hoens & Souren are working on issues such as:

• Arguments between shareholders
• Standing up for minority shareholders in need
• Conflicts regarding acquisitions
• Liability, dismissal and suspension of directors
• Conflicts with ‘special credits’ departments of banks

We do this as commissioned by shareholders, directors, supervisory directors, and works councils.

For example, conflicts between shareholders often get out of hand. We have experience with specific procedures such as:

• Dispute settlement rules
• Inquiry proceedings (including immediate relief, read more)
• Seizure of evidence

Most cases can be resolved out of court.

Examples of what we have achieved for our clients

• Intense conflict between shareholders in family business settled
  The relationship between the shareholders of a family business had become seriously damaged. Negotiations had reached an impasse. Read how we came to a solution.
• The difficult position of the minority shareholder
  Following a dispute between the directors of a company, our client was sacked. He was offered a mere pittance for his shares. Read about our approach.
• Dispute regarding a cancelled takeover
  Our client placed an opening bid on the shares of a company. The acquisition date was postponed. Then the seller suddenly switched dealings to another party. Read on.

We prefer short lines, fast, effective communication, and proper accessibility.
