Shareholder agreements can add value and protect a business, whether it’s formalising existing arrangements, going into business with others or resulting from a transaction. They can ensure that future uncertainty and disagreement is more easily managed because the parties understand the rules which govern their relationship as investors. Every year we provide bespoke advice on a large number of shareholders arrangements for new and existing businesses. We also advise on the preferred corporate structure.

The team at Napthens will discuss the key protections offered by shareholder agreements and provide a concise summary of your preferred position before we commence drafting. We cover questions such as restrictions on equity disposals, income and capital rights and the requirement for shareholder consent for key decisions. Our experts are happy to explain the impact of the arrangements with the key stakeholders so that all parties are familiar with the structure and can anticipate the need for any future approvals or the consequences of unforeseen events.
