Corporate disputes

A corporate conflict usually starts not in court but at a general meeting — with a breach of the rules on convening it or on the quorum. So the bulk of the lawyer’s work here is making the procedures legally watertight.

When to get in touch

• the members cannot agree on how the company is run
• a general meeting resolution was passed improperly
• you were not notified of a meeting, or were not allowed to take part
• you want to withdraw from the company and be paid the value of your share
• the director is acting against the company’s interests

What the lawyer does

• analyses the charter, the minutes and the history of corporate decisions
• checks that the general meeting was convened and held lawfully
• prepares claims challenging resolutions of the company’s bodies
• handles a member’s withdrawal and the settlement for their share
• deals with disputes about the director’s powers and liability
• represents the client in the commercial court

Legal basis

Corporate relations in limited liability companies are governed by the Law of Ukraine “On Limited Liability and Additional Liability Companies”: the company’s bodies are dealt with in Article 28; the competence of the general meeting in Article 30; convening and holding meetings in Articles 31–33; and the passing of resolutions in Article 34. A member whose share is less than 50 per cent may withdraw from the company at any time without the other members’ consent (Article 24). The duties and liability of members of the supervisory board and the executive body are set out in Article 40. Disputes are heard by the commercial courts (Article 20 of the Commercial Procedure Code of Ukraine).

Legislation and case law are updated over time; this page reflects the position as of August 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave an LLC without my partners’ consent?

A member whose share is less than 50 per cent may withdraw at any time without the other members’ consent; for a share of 50 per cent or more the law sets a different procedure (Article 24 of the Law).

On what grounds can a meeting resolution be challenged?

Most often: breach of the rules on convening the meeting and notifying members, lack of quorum, or acting beyond the body’s competence; we analyse each case against the charter and the minutes.
