Many companies find that the relationship between their Shareholders, as set out by company law, and by standard Articles of Association to be unsuitable or inadequate for how the Company is intended to be run. By choosing to enter into a Shareholders\u2019 Agreement, it is possible to establish your own set of rules for how you intend the company to be run and for stakeholder parties to operate and be remunerated.<\/p>\n
A Shareholders\u2019 Agreement can be essential in protecting the interests of minority shareholders by ensuring that certain decisions require a majority or unanimity in order for such decisions to be implemented. On the other hand, Shareholders\u2019 Agreements can also be beneficial to majority shareholders; particularly concerning the conditions as to whom shares can be transferred to and the terms on which such a transfer can take place.<\/p>\n

Even if you are fortunate to not need to rely on its terms, in the event that a dispute does arise within your company, then it is likely that a Shareholders Agreement will assist in avoiding, or at least reducing the cost of, any litigation which might otherwise result.<\/p>\n
