Shareholder Agreement
A shareholder agreement is a contract among some or all of a corporation's shareholders that sets the ground rules of their relationship — how shares can be sold, how disputes are settled, and how major decisions get made. It supplements the corporation's articles and bylaws and is especially valuable when several people own a company together. Putting one in place early prevents costly deadlocks later, particularly around buyouts, financing, and ownership changes that we handle through corporate finance and capital restructuring.
