Recorded Webinar: Shareholder Agreements for Innovative Start-ups

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
