Top 10 of 4,052 law firms for Shareholder Agreements, Company & Commercial

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Shareholder agreements cover the private company context, setting out how shareholders relate to each other and to the company. They typically govern share ownership, pre-emption on new issues, transfer restrictions, deadlock resolution, dividend expectations, and exit arrangements. A solicitor drafts and negotiates the document, advises on enforceability, and helps structure governance like voting arrangements, board control, and ROFR/ROFO provisions to prevent disputes. The work often shapes long‑term relationships and protects minority and majority interests alike.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A shareholder agreement locks in terms that prevent later disputes by detailing pre-emption rights, restrictions on share transfers, and mechanisms for resolving deadlock. It permits the solicitor to review or draft the contract with emphasis on enforceability and protections such as drag-along and piggy-back rights, share valuation, and exit triggers, backed by professional indemnity and regulatory accountability.

Carla Tirrell

Tagged solicitor Carla Tirrell

I called my solicitor in Ely, who wasn't able to offer this service at the time, and recommended Fraser Dawbarns to deal with my mortgage. I called and spoke to Carla Tirrell, who was understanding, and explained all of the costs and process so clearly and precise. The whole process was made simple, and explained fully at every step, in a very professional way throughout. Overall a totally satisfying process from start to finish.

Tagged solicitors Rhian Owen and Simon John Wallwork

We have used Simon Wallwork and Rhian Owen as corporate advisors for many years. The advice has always been excellent, professional, timely and good value. More recently we have used Hannah Al-Shaghana in the property department and like SImon and Rhian, her advice was excellent and they are all a pleasure to deal with.

Chris Allen

Tagged solicitor Chris Allen

A close friend recommended I contact Blacks Solicitors to discuss a work related problem which resulted in me having time off with a stress related condition. I contacted the firm via email and received an immediate response by Chris Allen who arranged a next day telephone consultation to allow me the opportunity to outline my grievance. I was given time to explain the situation and discuss the facts which had led me to seek expert legal advice. Mr Allen was extremely professional and courteous and was extremely adept at getting an accurate account of the situation from my distressed ramblings. He gave me a very balanced view point in regard to the whole sorry tale and neither trivialiased or added fuel to the fire with inflamed comments. He came accross to me as a very fair and just man and fortunately he agreed to act on my behalf in settling the disagreement. I felt like a great weight had lifted from my shoulders and I had full confidence in Mr Allen's ability to settle the grievance with the minimum disruption to either party. He kept in contact with me constantly whilst taking measures to conclude the dispute, either by email or telephone. I felt extremely satisfied with the outcome and was impressed by how he mediated between myself and my employer to ensure a mutually satisfactory outcome. I would highly recommend Chris Allen to anyone else requiring a solicitor now, or in the fututre and should I ever find myself in this dark place again he would be my first port of call.
