Shareholder Agreements: The Bedrock of Your Business A well-crafted shareholder agreement is crucial for a company's success. As a corporate lawyer with years of experience, I've seen firsthand the impact these agreements can have. Key clauses to consider include: - ownership structure - voting rights - board composition - transfer restrictions - pre-emptive rights - drag-along/tag-along rights - vesting - dispute resolution - information rights - exit strategies. Each clause is essential and should be tailored to your specific business needs. I've witnessed companies thrive or falter based on the strength of their shareholder agreements. Let's discuss your specific challenges and opportunities. Next week, I'll dive deeper into these clauses, providing insights and examples.
