Description
Shareholders agreements delineate the rules and terms of the business relationship, as well as expectations for all parties involved, to ensure that shareholders receive the rights promised in return for investment in a business. Although even the best drafted shareholders agreement won’t prevent all disputes from happening, a clearly and thoughtfully prepared shareholders agreement will minimize the likelihood of costly, time-consuming litigation between shareholders.
During this 90-minute webcast, our expert faculty will discuss best practices when drafting and negotiating shareholders agreements and share insights from their practical experience. Topics that will be addressed include:
- Rights of shareholders: Management, voting rights, economic rights, and information rights
- Restrictions on transfers of stock and mechanisms to buy and sell restricted stock

- Mechanisms to settle disputes
- Questions to ask at the outset to achieve desired outcomes
