We need a shareholders' agreement

Most owner disputes trace back to decisions that were never documented. A shareholders' agreement records what needs unanimous consent, how shares can be transferred and what happens when a shareholder leaves.

2,200 SRA-regulated firms match this type of work.

Common questions

Do we need one if we have articles of association?
Articles are public and generic; a shareholders' agreement is private and can deal with dividends, deadlock and exits in far more detail.
When is the best time to put one in place?
Before there is any disagreement - negotiating one during a dispute is materially harder and more expensive.
