Get expert help with your company’s Shareholder Agreement

A Shareholders Agreement is a contract made between the owners of a business, and it’s a crucial part of setting up your business. This document lays down the ground rules for how decisions are made within your business, what happens when a shareholder wants to leave the company, how disputes are handled and other important matters.

Even if you’re in business with friends or family, having ground rules like these is always healthy for the relationship and the business, especially as your business grows and the stakes become higher.

If you’re running a company, there are several documents you may need to protect your business and ensure everything runs smoothly. In addition, these documents are often required under legislation.

For example, under the Companies Act 2006, all limited companies need to have Articles of Association. This is essentially the governing document of the company, setting out the rules and responsibilities of all key personnel.

Our lawyers can draft your Articles of Association so that it is compliant with the requirements under the Act and tailored to the specific requirements of your business.
