Lawyers on this matter
The challenge
Two co-founders reached deadlock over strategy just as the company was closing a Series A round. The investors would not complete until the dispute was resolved.
Our approach
We reviewed the articles and shareholder agreement, identified the leverage our client held, and proposed a structured exit backed by a clear litigation alternative.
The outcome
The parties agreed terms in nine weeks without issuing proceedings, and the funding round completed the following month.
