Corporate Law
Shareholders' Agreement
A private agreement among a company's shareholders governing their mutual rights and obligations, including matters like share transfer, exit, and management control.
A shareholders' agreement supplements the company's constitutional documents, addressing matters the shareholders specifically want to agree on among themselves — such as pre-emption rights on share transfers, drag-along/tag-along rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
It is especially important in startups and closely held companies with multiple investors, where clarity on control and exit terms can prevent significant future disputes.
