About the Webinar

Many start up founders will inevitably reach a point where they will need to formalise the relationship via a shareholder agreement. It stipulates rules and policies that govern how the company will be run. However, a lot of good technology goes down the drain due to poorly drafted shareholder agreements. This session examines how to draft a solid shareholder agreement that will minimise future disputes and ensure long-term sustainability. It includes:

  • Defining the roles and responsibilities of the majority shareholders
  • Keeping control of significant decision-making and other essential control provisions
  • Provisions dealing with new investors – board representation, share classes and dilution issues
  • How are exits managed?
  • Provisions dealing with dispute resolution
  • Other key provisions
  • Understanding how the shareholder agreement sits alongside other key agreements, including employment contracts and licensing agreements
