# Shareholder Dispute Resolution

> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/service/corporate-and-commercial-law-en/shareholder-dispute-resolution-en

Shareholder disputes are one of the biggest threats to any business. Internal conflicts can not only disrupt a company's operational activities but also lead to financial paralysis, reputational damage, and ultimately, even company liquidation. Disputes often arise due to dividend distribution, management strategy, violation of minority shareholder rights, or breach of duties by directors. With the development of corporate law in Georgia, dispute resolution mechanisms have also evolved. This includes both litigation and alternative methods such as mediation and arbitration. Specialists on Legal.ge help you manage crisis situations to minimize damage to the business and achieve a fair outcome.

Several plaintiffs sue together where the subject is a common right, the claims arise from the same grounds or are homogeneous.

### What is claim security?

Seizure of property, securities or money, prohibition of actions and other measures that make enforcement of the decision feasible.

### How is an arbitral award enforced?

Upon the interested party's motion — the court issues the decision on recognition and enforcement.
