This area covers the drafting and finalisation of agreements that govern the relationships, rights and obligations of shareholders and partners, and the management of their interests within a company or partnership. A solicitor prepares and negotiates shareholders’ agreements and partnership deeds to record voting rights, exit mechanisms, buy‑sell provisions, drag and tag rights, dividend policies and director appointments, ensuring alignment with the Companies Act 2006 and any relevant regulations.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor drafts the document to reflect share capital structures, minority protections, governance rules and deadlock provisions, including buy‑sell clauses, transfer restrictions and dispute resolution. They ensure the deed aligns with the company’s articles of association or partnership agreement, considers tax implications, and coordinates with corporate documentation, shareholders, investors and management to avoid later disputes.
