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.

David Morgan

Tagged solicitor David Morgan

The first firm of solicitors who I feel are one step ahead of me, not ten behind! I used Beswicks some years ago for conveyancing transactions, the communication and advice was good then. Some years later I returned to the corporate law department for support with a business purchase and ongoing legal support. The communication at Beswicks is excellent and their ability to crossover multiple specialist sectors was vital for the transaction I was involved with. There's a lot of great people I have encountered at Beswicks but a special mention has to go out to David Morgan. During a hectic and stressful period, I felt I was David's only client and he was always available at the end of the phone. Following the transaction he was there to advise and assist with all aspects of the business and he has my utmost trust. Beswicks are not the cheapest and will not be for everyone. However for me, where I value speed, communication, quality of advice and trusting those operating in my interest, they are the perfect fit. Thank you Alistair Trippett Heywoods (1881) Estate Agents

Max Kennedy

Tagged solicitor Max Kennedy

I cannot thank Max Kennedy enough for his legal expertise and professionalism. I had been let down by another firm of Solicitors who should have been dealing with a time critical piece of work for me. After chasing them for several weeks regarding the progress, I was eventually told on Monday 22nd February that the solicitor dealing with the buyout had left the practice, had done absolutely nothing on my file and there was no one in the practice that could take the work on! I was devastated. After doing some research my friend ‘found’ Max Kennedy. I phoned your Worksop branch and outlined my situation to the receptionist. She passed my details on to Max and he immediately phoned me. He was absolutely lovely and asked me to email him an overview and the contracts. Max phoned me back within a very short space of time and said he would be able to act for me and deliver his part within the exceptionally tight time scale of five days inclusive. The following day (23rd February) I received an email from Max at 19.48 in the evening, stating the contract alterations were now complete. Amazing! I asked Max if he could contact the opposing solicitor to undertake any negotiation and bring the deal over the line by Friday 26th at the latest. Max immediately did this, keeping me up to speed at every point. He phoned me on Thursday 25th to confirm the deal had been concluded! As far as I am concerned Max went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of the transaction. I was completely dazzled by his professionalism yet lovely and friendly nature. He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for myself, and I can't thank him enough. I’ve have engaged solicitors previously but Max is in another league! He truly is inspirational and a credit to both Foys and the Law. I will certainly be giving Max and your firm a massive recommendation to all my friends and family! With thanks
