Shareholders Agreement

A Shareholders Agreement is a cornerstone document for any company with more than one shareholder. It governs the relationship between shareholders, sets out how decisions are made, and protects minority and majority interests alike.

This agreement provides clarity on voting rights, share transfers, dividend policies, dispute resolution, and exit strategies. By formalising expectations early, it reduces the risk of deadlock or costly litigation down the line.
