Corporations Act Litigation

Overview

The Hall & Wilcox Commercial Dispute Resolution team is widely respected for their expertise and advice on the Corporations Act and issues of compliance arising from its provisions.
 
Regulating all aspects of a corporation, the Act outlines the added responsibilities company directors are subject to based on their fiduciary duties to the company and its shareholders, employees and creditors.
 
Office holders within a company need expert guidance on how to comply with these duties and, where necessary, skilled professionals to represent their best interests in litigious proceedings. Given the seriousness of the sanctions that can result, our team will anticipate potential regulatory risks and develop a coordinated strategy to ensure you respond appropriately.

Experience

We advise on all areas of Corporations Act litigation, including issues concerning:
  • directors’ and officers’ duties and liabilities;
  • shareholder rights, participation and communication;
  • executive and directors’ remuneration and compensation;
  • auditors’ responsibilities and independence;
  • financial reporting and continuous disclosure requirements;
  • conflicts of interest management;
  • market manipulation and insider trading;
  • anti-money laundering; and
  • financial reporting standards and disclosure requirements.
