ML Chambers has a deep specialization in complex corporate governance, boardroom, shareholder and joint venture disputes. Our lawyers, their particular subject matter expertise and work in this area have over the years been routinely recognized.
Our team advises high value companies and its shareholders and directors in complex, cross-border, multi-party shareholder disputes, breach of director duties claims, shareholder derivative actions (section 216A, Companies Act 1967) and minority oppression claims (section 216, Companies Act 1967). We represent a broad range of clientele ranging from the individual shareholders, board members, C-suite professionals, multi-million dollar companies, public listed companies to various Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
Our matters are often multi-jurisdictional in nature, involving issues of foreign law and collaborative efforts between law firms from multiple jurisdictions.
We adopt a dual “curative” and “preventive” methodology in catering to our client’s corporate needs. ML Chambers does not just respond to pre-existing difficulties / disputes to offer “cures” but we also strive to help our clients address their needs holistically and pre-emptively by assisting companies/businesses build competencies and corporate governance best practices.
We keenly understand that a “legal win” and “commercial win” are not always synonymous. We strive to provide solutions that are practical, sensitive to commercial realities and which secure the longer term core interests of our clients.
