What this usually involves

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.

  • Reserved matters and board composition
  • Share transfer, pre-emption and drag and tag rights
  • Good leaver and bad leaver provisions

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.
