What to secure first in a shareholder dispute.

Confirm the end of every oral agreement in writing. Review bank powers and reissue signatory rights if possible. Pull the register extract and have a preliminary injunction assessed as next step.

Without insight into books and resolutions no challenge or exclusion has a base. Send a written inspection request with a concrete topic list. If the reply is missing, move on to the register court or an information action.

Before any action or challenge the key evidence must be secured. Start with an orderly export of mailboxes, collect contracts, resolutions, bank statements and customer lists of the last twelve months.

The case appears manageable. Use the time for a clean inventory, review the articles in detail and prepare challenge or safeguard steps in parallel. A first consultation structures the next three to four weeks.

When facts are being created, a later action quickly loses its base. The preliminary injunction is often the first effective instrument. It requires evidence, an affidavit and an execution plan.
