Shareholder &
Minority Rights Disputes
Precision protection
for shareholders.
Boardroom battles demand more than legal knowledge. You need strategy, commercial instinct, and fast, focused execution. At Silvester Legal, we safeguard minority shareholders and restore balance when governance breaks down. We uncover director misconduct, challenge abuse of power, and secure your rightful place at the table.
Results matter. Outcomes are everything. That’s our promise.
Understanding
your legal rights
Singapore’s corporate framework protects shareholders through robust legal safeguards. The Companies Act provides comprehensive minority protections, while the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Exchange (SGX) enforce strict governance standards. When disputes escalate beyond negotiation, institutions like the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC) and the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) offer structured paths to resolution.
Disputes typically arise from:
- Self-dealing and conflicts of interest
- Misappropriation of company assets
- Exclusion from boardroom decisions
- Breach of fiduciary duties
- Systematic oppression of minority interests
We identify the breach, clarify your position, and
build your case for maximum impact.
