Corporation Disputes

Our barristers are regularly briefed in disputes involving rights and responsibilities under the Corporations Act 2001 and to advise on corporate governance issues generally. They act in shareholder actions, breaches of fiduciary and directors’ duties, oppression claims and derivative actions. 

Our barristers also have extensive experience in litigating corporate insolvency matters. They regularly act for creditors, liquidators, administrators and receivers.
