Whether you’re raising funds from angel investors, onboarding strategic partners, or forming a joint venture, a well-drafted SHA safeguards everyone’s interests and helps prevent disputes. We support businesses in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating shareholder agreements that reflect not only legal obligations but also practical business dynamics.

Key clauses in a SHA typically include: shareholding structure, board composition, voting rights, reserved matters, transfer restrictions, exit provisions, drag-along/tag-along rights, anti-dilution clauses, and confidentiality terms. We ensure these are customized to suit your deal’s context be it startup fundraising, PE investment, or strategic equity infusion.

We collaborate with your legal advisors or offer vetted templates that can be modified to suit each round or investment stage. Our focus is to balance investor protections with founder flexibility, enabling long-term growth without losing control or getting locked into restrictive terms.

In addition to legal drafting, we provide practical advisory on how certain clauses may affect future rounds, investor relations, or regulatory compliance. We also help founders understand legal jargon and align the SHA with their business goals and funding strategy.

By taking a proactive and thoughtful approach to shareholder agreements, you gain not only legal protection—but also long-term trust and transparency with your investors.
