Shareholder Disputes

Outside of the divorce courts, the most bitter disputes are often between shareholders. Limited companies can bring together relative strangers, and while often these relationships are long and happy, sometimes they are punctuated by rows, infidelity, and ultimately, divorce.

What does someone do when they are sacked as a director of the company they founded? What if the minority fellow shareholder is blocking growth hoping to be bought out?
