Running a business partnership relies on trust, but what happens when one partner makes a decision they weren't authorised to make?

Whether it's signing a contract beyond an agreed financial limit or committing the business to an unexpected expense, a partner exceeding their authority can have serious financial and legal consequences for the entire partnership.

In some cases, the partnership may still be legally responsible for those commitments, even if the other partners never agreed to them.

Having a clear partnership agreement in place can help define responsibilities, establish limits and provide a way to resolve disputes when they arise.

At Feakes & Co, our experienced solicitors can advise on partnership disputes and help you find a resolution with minimal disruption to your business.

Whether you own a small percentage of a company or hold a significant share, understanding your rights as a shareholder is important.

Your shareholding can give you certain powers when it comes to company decisions, including:

✅ Attending and voting at general meetings
✅ Calling a general meeting if you hold at least 5% of the shares
✅ Requesting an audit of company accounts if you hold at least 10%
✅ Blocking special resolutions if you hold more than 25% of the voting rights

Your company's Articles of Association may also provide additional rights, so it's important to understand what you're entitled to.

At Feakes & Co, our experienced solicitors can advise you on your shareholder rights and help resolve disputes when they arise.

Do you believe a loved one's Will is invalid or have concerns about how their estate is being handled?

Challenging a Will can be a complicated process, and acting quickly is important to help protect the estate and your position.

The process may involve obtaining a copy of the Will, raising concerns with the executor and exploring options for reaching an agreement. While many disputes can be resolved through negotiation, some may require court proceedings.

At Feakes & Co, our experienced solicitors can guide you through the process, explain your options and help you take the appropriate steps.

If you have concerns about a Will or estate, get in touch with our team.

As a company director, you have a legal responsibility to act in the best interests of the company. But what happens if you're accused of breaching that duty?

A breach of fiduciary duty can arise when a director acts outside their authority, fails to exercise reasonable care or puts personal interests ahead of the company's interests.

Such allegations can lead to disputes between directors and shareholders, financial consequences and, in serious cases, director disqualification.

Understanding your responsibilities and knowing how to respond to an allegation is important.

If you own a business, have you considered what would happen to it if you were no longer here?

Your business may be one of your most valuable assets and an important source of income for your family. However, without the right plans in place, your loved ones could face difficult decisions, financial pressures and uncertainty about who can take control.

Having an up-to-date Will, a clear succession plan and appropriate Lasting Powers of Attorney can help protect your business and make things easier for those you leave behind.

Recent changes to Business Property Relief also make it an important time to review your inheritance tax and estate planning arrangements.

Our private client team can help you put the right arrangements in place to protect both your business and your family.

Have you made a Will, and if you have, does it still reflect your current wishes?

A Will gives you the opportunity to clearly set out what you would like to happen to your estate and who you want to benefit. As your circumstances change over time, it is also important to review your Will to make sure it remains right for you.

Whether you need to make your first Will or update an existing one, our experienced solicitors can guide you through the process and help you put your wishes in writing.

When a debtor continues to refuse payment, bankruptcy or winding up proceedings may need to be considered as part of your debt recovery strategy.

For an individual, bankruptcy means their assets and income are controlled by a Trustee in Bankruptcy. For a company, winding up takes control of its assets and income so that debts can be addressed.

At Feakes & Co, we can advise on the options available and help you take the appropriate steps to recover money owed to you.

Selling or buying a limited company? One of the key decisions is whether the transaction involves the business assets or the shares in the company.

Both routes have different legal considerations, from due diligence and warranties to employees, existing debts and obligations after completion.

Getting the right advice from the outset can help ensure the transaction is structured appropriately and that you understand exactly what is being bought or sold.

Our commercial solicitors can guide you through the process.
