Shareholders Agreements

A shareholders' agreement is a contract between the shareholders of a private company that outlines how they intend to manage the company and regulates each shareholder's roles and responsibilities. By defining and outlining the parties' responsibilities through a formal written contract, a shareholders' agreement helps to manage and minimise the risk of internal conflicts between management.

Having Duan & Duan UK LLP help draft a shareholders' agreement is a beneficial start to your business venture, as it encourages discussion between potential shareholders or investors, allowing them to identify any areas of differing expectations or potential concerns that may have otherwise been overlooked until a problem arises.

One of the benefits of a shareholders' agreement is that it allows you and your business partners to privately regulate the running of your company. It also enables you to impose restrictions on shareholders' activities during and after the ownership of shares and to protect your interests.

Matters that are typically dealt with in a shareholders' agreement include voting rights, transfer of shares, shareholders' rights to appoint directors, what happens if a shareholder leaves, dies, or becomes ill, dividend policy, valuing shares in the event of a transfer or sale of those shares, restrictive covenants, and minority shareholder protection.

At Duan & Duan UK LLP, our expertise in dealing with shareholders' agreements goes beyond drafting clauses. We also have experience in resolving shareholder disputes, ensuring that your business interests are protected and that conflicts are resolved efficiently and effectively.
