McDermott & Associates recently acted for a shareholder in a small company. Our client ran into difficulties with another shareholder when he wanted to invest money to grow the business, but she wanted to wind down in preparation for retirement. Although the other shareholder commenced proceedings in the Federal Court, McDermott & Associates was successful in mediating an outcome which resulted in a much quicker, cheaper and commercially advantageous outcome for our client than would have been possible had the matter been decided by the Court.
