Corporate disputes

Thanks to our strong M&A focus enjoying Tier 1 ranking (Legal 500 2026), we have a deep understanding of the M&A transaction process and have a comprehensive grasp of both the broader context and the fine details of the transaction documents. Therefore, our litigation team possesses all the expertise necessary to handle disputes arising after M&A transactions, including the preliminary assessment of potential disputes and representation in litigation. Based on this foundation, we offer clients the services of an experienced, specialist M&A disputes practice.

Shareholders’ agreements and articles of association are drafted in considerable detail to prevent future disputes and enable shareholders to focus on creating value together. Nevertheless, small grains of sand — and later larger obstacles — may find their way into what had been smoothly running business cooperation. In these difficult situations we assist our clients with extensive experience, resolving the emerging disputes first through the smart use of the corporate governance tools, and then, if necessary, through litigation. As a result of our approach, in the overwhelming majority of cases these disputes are resolved through a favourable settlement and the buyout of one of the parties.

Our practice is further strengthened by the fact that both of our Managing Partners, Dr. Zoltán Forgó and Dr. Gábor Damjanovic, have extensive experience serving as arbitrators in corporate disputes and in post-M&A arbitration proceedings. This enables us to examine issues of interpretation from the perspective of an arbitrator, too.
