Unanimous Shareholders Agreements

Be safe, not sorry.

Whether you've just incorporated or have been incorporated for years, a unanimous shareholders agreement is a must to resolve future shareholder disputes.

A unanimous shareholders agreement can deal with many issues affecting the operation of the business and the rights and responsibilities of the shareholders. The agreement can deal with shareholder disputes, financial affairs, transfer of shares, death, third-party claims against shares, and other important issues.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of a unanimous shareholders agreement for your business is that it forces all shareholders to consider all potential conflicts and problems and put the resolutions in writing. The simple existence of the agreement can prevent many issues from arising at all.
