Negotiating terms

Negotiating the terms of a shareholder agreement can be complex, particularly when multiple parties are involved. We excel in the creation of clear and enforceable shareholder agreements defining the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of all members. Whether you’re setting up a new business or restructuring an existing one, our expert team will cover the key issues like share distribution, voting rights, profit allocation, and exit strategies. A well-drafted shareholder agreement is crucial for protecting the interests of both majority and minority shareholders by including provisions around minority rights, transferring shares, and mechanisms for resolving deadlocks. We’ll create an agreement that minimises the potential for conflict and ensures that all shareholders are treated fairly. In the event of a dispute, we offer dispute resolution services, including mediation and litigation support, to resolve conflicts efficiently and effectively.

I engaged Terence and Grace after I was defrauded a significant sum of money. Being a victim of cyber fraud is extremely stressful and confronting. Thanks to them I felt an instant sense of relief when they took on my case and achieved a successful outcome within a short period of time. Terence and Grace were extremely knowledgeable in their case law and knew the strategic steps to take, to help me recover both my lost funds and interest. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and empathy they displayed to me, to achieve this extraordinary result. I am eternally grateful.
