GOODWYN HERRERA SOLICITORS
Shareholder Agreements
A shareholder agreement sets out how a company is run, how decisions are made, and what happens when circumstances change. It provides clarity, reduces the risk of disputes, and protects the rights of each shareholder. Whether you’re starting a new business, bringing in investors, or formalising long-standing arrangements, a shareholder agreement is a vital safeguard.
At GWH Solicitors, we help businesses and shareholders create agreements that balance individual interests with the needs of the company as a whole.
Why a Shareholder Agreement Matters
Decision-making clarity – setting out how important decisions will be made.
Protecting minority shareholders – ensuring fair treatment and a clear voice.
Exit planning – defining what happens if a shareholder wants to leave.
Dispute resolution – providing mechanisms to resolve disagreements without litigation.
Future-proofing – adapting to growth, investment, or changing ownership.
