Company and Commercial Law Barrister

Whenever you start a company, or invest in one, it is very important that you form and understand a Shareholders Agreement. Without one, it may be very difficult to successfully argue your position during a legal dispute. Your Shareholder Agreement needs to include very clear and precise information about you, other shareholders, and the shares themselves. What happens when you want to sell your shares? What happens if you have an accident and can no longer fulfil your duties under the agreement? These and many more are questions you need to address in your agreement, for which you will need legal advice.
