Contracts and Shareholders' Agreements covers the drafting, review and negotiation of binding agreements that govern how a company is run and how shareholders interact. It includes shareholders’ agreements, articles of association, and key commercial contracts between the company and investors, suppliers or customers. A solicitor acts to draft or revise the terms, check for enforceability, ensure protections around share transfers, buy-sell provisions, deadlock resolution, veto rights, and dilution, and to prepare ancillary documents such as deeds of adherence and board resolutions. They advise on governance, remedies for breaches, and potential disputes arising from these contracts.
