Disputes and conflict on the board

Most corporations will deal with disagreements and conflict at some point. Healthy debate is good for a corporation; but if conflicts and disputes are preventing your group from achieving its goals, you need to know how to handle these situations effectively and legally. Understanding the law involved will help your corporation get the best outcome.

Disputes in corporations can be between: members; members and directors; directors; directors and senior management; or the corporation and its creditors. In this training session, run by Justice Connect's Not-for-profit Law, we focus on disputes involving members and directors. You’ll gain an understanding of the law, and learn strategies to help prevent conflict arising and to help resolve it when it does. This workshop doesn’t cover disputes involving other parties such as employees, volunteers, customers, native title holders, creditors or funding bodies. 

Learn what the law requires you to do when a conflict or complaint arises.
