When we set up or invest in companies, the relationship between shareholders is often great or at the very least amicable. But as a business grows and there are new challenges to face, unfortunately these relationships can turn sour.

A shareholders agreement can help set up the framework for how the relationship between shareholders will work and it can also be used to settle disputes.

A shareholders agreement can also provide you with clear and unambiguous rights and how you can enforce those rights.

Often they are overlooked, as individuals believe the articles of association will do this for them. However, unless your articles are bespoke, it is unlikely they cover every eventuality and the uniqueness of your relationship. There are also some things that cannot be included in the articles of association, but could be included in a shareholders agreement.

Our experts can help draft a shareholders agreement for you that reflects all the shareholders’ intentions and helps protect the company in the future.

We know exactly what you are thinking.

  • That is going to be costly
  • Solicitors don’t understand our business
  • It is too complicated
  • I do not have time for complex lengthy paperwork

Hybrid does shareholders agreements like no one else

  • Fixed fees
  • Down to earth advisors
  • A team who cares
  • Years of expert knowledge at the dial of a phone
  • Simplified approach making the whole process easy to understand

Our approach to drafting your shareholders agreement.

1.

Understanding your business

Many traditional law firms forget this, but it’s the most important step. In order to give you something that will last for years, that truly reflects your business and your culture, we need to understand it.

2.

Drafting

It will take us some time, but Rome was not built in a day. We will take our time with this agreement; it is important to the harmonious relationship of your shareholders! We will consult with you throughout the drafting in order to make sure that your completely happy with the agreement and that it really reflects you and your team.

3.

Signing

It is time to sign on the dotted line! But it is impossible to get all your shareholders together at the same time. Do not worry, we have the tools for the job. We can help you get the entire document signed and sealed without a drop of sweat.

4.

Aftercare

It may be the case that over the years you have questions about the agreement, or you need it amending or just to better understand its provisions. We will always be on hand to help you.
