Getting the right structure for your company with the shareholders formally agreeing their rights and responsibilities not only protects the business but each of the shareholders. A written shareholders agreement should in clear language leave each shareholder knowing exactly where they stand on issues such as funding the company, management and reporting, changes in personnel, management of disputes, and include a means of exit over time.  A business does not stay still, and changes can easily cause misunderstandings and conflict ending in expensive legal disputes. Our commercial experience will help guide you to consider the right questions to answer and the options available to prepare the right agreement for you.
