Shareholder Agreements and Investment Agreements
At Omny Law, we have advised many of our clients on the best way to protect themselves.
Whether you’re running a business with a partner, taking on an investment into your business, or an investor yourself, we can help you protect your interests.
Our expert multi-disciplinary team will work with you to come up with the best solution for your needs, which may include drafting you a shareholders’ agreement or an investment agreement. These agreements typically include provisions relating to:
- Transferring and issuing shares: the agreement can contain restrictions on shares being transferred or issued freely, with the right for certain shareholders to be offered them before a third party
- Restrictive covenants: the agreement can contain restrictions on key personnel from completing with the company, or trying to poach other key employees
- Compulsory transfers: these provisions details the scenarios in which a company can force a shareholder to sell their shares, and to who
- Drag and tag rights: on an exit, these provisions can ensure that majority shareholders can force minority shareholders to sell their shares in a sale (drag-along) and that minority shareholders can join in a sale if a majority shareholder `sells their shares (tag-along)
If these sounds like the right fit for you and your business, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
