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.

Andy was fantastic with our families recent property purchases. We had a longer wait to settle but Andy kept us updated on the status and next steps. As with property purchases the stress levels are high but Andy was calm and reassuring and made the process as seamless as possible. Would recommend Andy and Alan for your next property purchase.
