Shareholder and Partnership Agreements

At Fishers Solicitors, we know that all too often disputes can arise between business partners and shareholders. Given the risks involved with starting a business and the disputes that can occur down the line, we believe a strong business needs a strong agreement from day one. If you are looking to create an agreement with your shareholders or business partner, get in touch today with our solicitors in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Derby or Tamworth.

A shareholder or partnership agreement is a written agreement between either the shareholders or the partners of a business detailing specifics on funding, management, owner responsibilities, direction and structure of the business.

In order to minimise the potential for conflict and reduce the risk of uncertainty in the future, we believe that it’s vital for a business to come to an agreement on these fundamental issues as early as possible.

At Fishers Solicitors, our commercial solicitors can draft and review shareholder or partnership agreements that cover all the necessary grounds so the partners or shareholders in your business can share the same expectations, make decisions in confidence, and avoid conflict.

Each business is unique, and so too is each agreement. That’s why we believe it’s paramount to listen and understand your needs and concerns before drawing up an agreement. From professional advice on business strategy to the drafting of the agreement, Fishers Solicitors shareholder and business partnership agreement solicitors will ensure that your partners or shareholders have the peace of mind to proceed and succeed.

We cannot overstate the importance of investing heavily in your initial agreements when entering into business with others.
