Shareholder & Joint Venture Agreements

Agreements that leave no room for dispute

Shareholder and joint venture agreements are effective when they clearly outline the expectations of all parties involved. We probe a little deeper. What does each party bring to the table? Who makes the decisions? What does success look like? What happens if someone wants to leave? By asking these questions, we gain insight and draft agreements that work for both the present and the future.

With shareholder agreements, clarity comes from establishing sensible rules around the issue, transfer and value of shares. If you’re investing in a business, passing a shareholding onto your children, or offering your employees a stake in the company, we can help you get it right.

With joint ventures, we focus on setting up a robust structure. We ensure that both parties are clear on their commitment, obligations and funding – and that there’s a process in place that protects everyone from issue to exit.

Asking these questions on day one makes a dispute far less likely. It also produces an agreement that isn’t just signed – it’s actually a tool to drive momentum in the business and build value.
