Shareholder and Partnership Agreements

One of the most common causes of business disputes is failing to create a partnership or shareholder agreement at the start of your business venture.

While you may get along really well with your business partners, it’s important that you have a frank discussion from the outset to ensure that you know exactly how your business will be run, including:

The rights and responsibilities of each partner
Meeting and voting procedures
How disagreements are to be resolved
What happens on the sale of the business
What happens if new partners are added
Division of profits
The death of a partner

Creating an agreement from the outset is an effective tool at minimizing disputes and ensuring that you have a healthy and long-lived business relationship.

Highly recommended. We were very nervous about our purchase via our Super Fund and these guys are all over it. Kept us calm, knew exactly what to do and were super efficient, even though it was over the Christmas/New Year period, they were there! Thank you so much Vanessa, Alan and Amber who looked after us.

I have used Thornton + King's service for the purchase of our first home. All throughout the process, they have been very professional and honest with their feedback. They ensured that we understand the impacts of clauses in the contract and possible risks associated with them.

Very easy conveyancing transaction on an IP purchased in QLD. Initially referred by my sister to Karunn but I worked primarily with Andy and Alan - who were both returning emails even through their office shut-down period over Christmas / New Year! Overall, they were quick to respond, knowledgable and managed everything with minimal fuss. Settlement went off without a hitch. Hig...
