Shareholders' agreements

If two or more people go into business together, trading as a limited liability company, it makes sense to put in place arrangements so that the company can continue to run smoothly if issues or disagreements arise.

In most small private companies the shareholders are often the same people as the directors so a properly drafted shareholders’ agreement is a useful way to set down ground rules for avoiding disputes or providing a way to deal with them if they do arise.

The agreement is a private document that sets out the powers of the shareholders and covers issues such as disagreements over future strategy or what happens if a shareholder wants to sell their interest in the company.

Our team is experienced in all aspects of shareholders’ agreements and can advise on and draft agreements to help companies avoid disputes and time-consuming and costly resolutions.
