This area covers how a business is legally organised and the agreements that govern partnerships and collaborations. It includes choosing between forms such as a company, a limited liability partnership, or a joint venture vehicle, and drafting or negotiating the necessary governance documents. A solicitor helps draft or review the articles of association, shareholders’ or members’ agreements, and JV agreements; advise on ownership, roles, profit shares, and exit strategies; and support due diligence and regulatory compliance in structuring the arrangement.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles the complex questions around ownership structures, governance mechanisms, funding, dilution, and exit options. They draft and negotiate articles of association, shareholders’ agreements, and joint venture agreements, navigate corporate governance requirements, and coordinate with investors, advisers, and counterparties. Their involvement helps manage risk, define decision rights, and structure protections such as veto rights, tag/drag rights, and dispute resolution provisions.
