Create your bespoke shareholders' agreement

Why do I need a shareholders’ agreement?

A shareholders’ agreement is for businesses that have shareholders. 

This type of agreement focuses on the rights and protections of the shareholders, detailing how decisions affecting the company are made, how profits (including dividends) are distributed, and the procedures for a shareholder selling or transferring their shares.

Features included in a shareholders’ agreement:

  • Shareholder obligations
  • Appointment of directors
  • Shareholder dispute resolution
  • Share transfer restrictions
  • Restrictive covenants
  • Exit arrangements such as retirement or selling or buying each other’s interest etc.
  • Reserved matters requiring unanimous agreement of shareholders
  • Mechanism of resolving deadlocks
