Shareholder fall out and lost control

Can anyone recommend an advisor for shareholder dispute please? The chronology seems to meet narrative of company capture according to my own google searches (I know I know, don’t believe all you read). I’m so heart broken and can’t believe I’ve lost control of my own business. I’m a single parent with 2 young ones and so stressed about I’ll afford to get proper advise. Thanks in advance.

Don't have a particular one I can recommend, but there are a lot of solicitors that deal with shareholder disputes. Who you go with depends in part on how much you can afford to spend.

Do the shareholders with whom you are in dispute own a majority of the shares in your business?

Thanks for your time, no they do not, but they have enough to grind me down and veto everything tho. I haven’t explained very well we are also directors and I was close friends with the sisters since college but they don’t ask me anymore because they have director majority.

If you own a majority of the shares, you can remove them as directors unless there are multiple classes of shares and their shares give them the right to appoint directors, or there is a shareholder agreement giving them that right.
