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.

Happy with the advice and cost but initial comms with the firm (not Glenn personally) could have been better

Deborah Melluish

Tagged solicitor Deborah Melluish

I have had occasion to work with Deborah several times over the past 15 years in both a business and personal capacity. I have always found her very knowledgeable, personable and pleasant to deal with. She always meets her deadlines (as long as she has the necessary information from her clients and other parties). I would highly recommend Deborah and other members of the Corporate team at Eaton Smith

Pamela Lacey

Tagged solicitor Pamela Lacey

We went to Pamela for advice, wow! We had been turned away by previous solicitors and some had been quite rude but not Maxwell solicitors, they were so polite and accommodating we had a phone call from the lovely Pamela who listened to what was important to us, we then arranged to see her in person and she had such a lovely way with our 6 year old daughter it left us with full confidence that not only was she very efficient in her job but she was a kind natured person who genuinely cares about her clients. Whatever the outcome we are grateful!

Kim Connolly

Tagged solicitor Kim Connolly

We have used Kim on several occasions. She is knowledgable, pragmatic, engaging, professional and “ commercial” in giving practical, solutions orientated advice. A pleasure to deal with. With our latest transaction she managed to complete a complex transaction in a short time frame and did so without fuss or fluster despite the added pressure of pace.
