Shareholder Agreements

It is often the case that businesses or individuals want to work together by jointly forming a company. The agreements made between the businesses or individuals need to be recorded in a shareholder or joint venture agreement to avoid disputes at a later date.

Whilst there is no obligatory content for such an agreement clients often ask us to record how profits will be divided, what will happen if one of the shareholders wants to leave and whether one party might have special voting rights in a particular situation.
