Valuation set early
The buy-out endgame is priced from the start, so litigation pressure serves the number rather than replacing it.
Aun & Co. acts in shareholder and partnership disputes in Israel: exclusion, deadlock, accounting claims and exits, litigated or negotiated from a mapped position.
Shareholder and partnership disputes begin long before any filing — in blocked distributions, side dealings and information that stops flowing. Israeli law gives minority and equal holders real tools, including the statutory oppression remedy under s.191 of the Companies Law, fiduciary duties of directors and controlling holders, and the contractual layer in founders' and partnership agreements. The firm maps who can prove what, then chooses between forcing a buy-out, restoring rights or unwinding the relationship.
The corporate record is rebuilt first: registers, resolutions, bank movements and the informal channels where the real decisions were made. From that record the firm separates what is provable from what is merely felt, frames the strongest one or two legal theories, and opens on the front where the other side's own documents do the arguing. Valuation strategy is set early — most of these cases end at a price.

Registers, resolutions and bank flows assembled into one chronology — the spine of both the pleading and the negotiation.
Many Israeli companies are family companies; the firm litigates the legal claim while keeping the human exit routes open.
A typical engagement: a minority holder in a private company discovers management fees flowing to entities tied to the controller. The firm assembles the financial chronology, frames an oppression claim under s.191 of the Companies Law, and drives the matter toward a court-supervised valuation and exit.

Substantial ones: the oppression remedy under s.191 of the Companies Law, information and inspection rights, and the duties owed by directors and controlling shareholders. The court can order remedies as far-reaching as a forced buy-out of either side.
Yes. In oppression proceedings Israeli courts can order a purchase of the aggrieved holder's shares at a court-determined valuation — one of the most common practical outcomes in closely held company disputes.
The company's own paper: board and shareholder resolutions, financial statements, bank statements and the email traffic around key decisions. Cases are usually decided by the company's records, not by the parties' recollections.
