Your business plans
Organise shareholder relationships
Set rules for decisions and ownership changes, or prepare a response when disagreements arise.
Plan for a lasting business relationship
Working with other shareholders means considering who decides, how shares can be transferred and what happens if expectations change. The practice assists at formation, when an investor joins, when an exit is planned or when relationships become difficult.
How the practice can assist
- Draft or review articles of association and shareholders’ agreements around your shared objectives.
- Set arrangements for decisions, shareholder information, entry and exit.
- Review performance of commitments and prepare a negotiated solution where difficulties arise.
- Assist with shareholder disputes and proceedings within French corporate law.
How the engagement progresses
Identify expectations
Roles, ownership, existing rules and any points of disagreement.
Consider the options
Governance arrangements, revised agreements, negotiations or handling the dispute.
Document and follow through
Prepare agreements, implement decisions or conduct litigation according to the engagement.
A direct discussion helps clarify governance issues, each party’s interests and the steps to consider. Remote work is conducted primarily by video call and email.
Discuss your situation
A business project, a transaction or a dispute?
An initial consultation helps clarify your needs and the next steps. You can also request guidance in English on other areas of French law.
