A shareholder’s agreement should take a priority when starting a business as it protects the rights of the parties involved. Simply put, it is a contract between the shareholders of your company that sets clear guidelines relating to the operation of your company. The agreement outlines the specifics as to what is expected from every shareholder, how decisions will be made, what happens when a shareholder decides to leave the company, how conflicts will be handled and resolved, and other crucial matters.
Our business lawyers at Amity Legal can assist you in drafting and reviewing a shareholder’s agreement.
Get StartedPartnership Agreement
A Partnership is a business structure whereby two or more people do the business together and distribute income or losses between themselves. It is often that friends or colleagues become partners in a business together and overlook the possible contingencies or disputes with the notion that personal relationships do not require a formal agreement. This view is extremely risky. As each partner is responsible for the actions of another, including being liable for business debt, it is highly crucial that you and your partners formalise the terms of your partnership in writing.
A Partnership Agreement defines the nature of the partnership and the obligations and rights of each partner in the business, covers matters like how partnership decisions will be made, what happens when a partner leaves and how conflicts will be resolved.
At Amity Legal, our commercial lawyers can assist in understanding your legal obligations as a partner and draft the terms and conditions of your Partnership Agreement.
Get StartedCo- Founder Agreement
Not all matters are found or considered in the company constitution. A Co-founder Agreement (also called the Equity or Collaboration Agreement) is a legally binding agreement entered into by the co- founders of a business which governs their business relationship and sets out the rights, responsibilities, liabilities, and obligations of each shareholder.
