Corporate Lawyer in Vienna
Whether it's formation, day-to-day operations, or a dispute between shareholders, business and corporate law tends to matter to a company precisely when it can get expensive. As a corporate lawyer in Vienna, Michaele Beauer advises on GmbH (limited-liability company) formation and contracts, and represents shareholders in disputes over management and profit distribution.
Business & Corporate Law
Two shareholders of a GmbH fall into a dispute over management and profit distribution that increasingly paralyses day-to-day operations. An amicable solution seems out of reach at first — a shareholder dispute of this kind can block a company for months.
The starting point was a precise analysis of the articles of association: what rights and obligations do they actually assign to each shareholder? Building on that, a buy-out arrangement was negotiated to allow one shareholder an orderly exit. Challenging the relevant shareholder resolutions in court stood ready as a fallback if negotiations failed.
One shareholder exited in an orderly manner against fair compensation — without the lengthy, costly litigation a resolution challenge would have meant. The business continued operating without disruption, and both sides gained legal certainty about their respective positions.
Shareholder disputes cost companies one thing above all: time and the ability to act. Michaele Beauer therefore looks first for a negotiable solution — without losing sight of court enforcement if it becomes necessary. This applies equally to GmbH formation, articles of association, and shareholder disputes.
