Corporate Disputes
Strategic Counsel for Shareholder & Corporate Governance Disputes
Keystone Partners has significant experience handling corporate disputes for founders, investors, minority and majority shareholder groups, corporates, independent directors, and financial institutions — in both governance disputes and contract-based claims. We routinely represent clients in oppression and mismanagement claims before the NCLT and NCLAT, in suits before commercial courts, and in arbitrations arising from shareholder and founder–investor agreements, alongside advisory work on actions before statutory authorities.
Our advice in corporate deadlock situations is tailored to achieve sustainable long-term solutions for clients, with a focus on protecting against the erosion of corporate value. We have acted across the automobile, educational services, technology, manufacturing, real estate, and finance sectors, delivering remedies including anti-dilution protection, preservation of shareholder rights, reinstatement of wrongfully removed directors, and rectification of company records.
