Partnership and shareholder agreement

Setting up a business requires some thought on the most appropriate legal structure. Whatever the agreement, Smith Roddam Solicitors ensures the rights of those involved are properly taken care of.

There are many legal entities. Some are more complicated than others. Every business owner needs to consider which arrangement is the most appropriate for them. Partnership agreements are a popular way to form a business. There are different partnership agreements, so it helps to know the difference.

Shareholder agreements set out certain agreements made by the business owners. These can be used to regulate ownership and voting rights. They can make provision for how capital contributions are to be made or how disputes between shareholders are to be resolved.

At Smith Roddam Solicitors, our knowledge of business agreements allows you to make the right choice. Our lawyers can be trusted to explain the benefits and risks of each. We explain matters in plain English, not legal jargon. Our aim is to make your decision the best one for your business.

So if you’re looking for expert legal advice for your business, call us today on 01388 881 611.
