Poorly drafted shareholders' agreements frequently become the source of costly disputes, particularly where businesses grow, relationships deteriorate or shareholders exit unexpectedly. This session examines the drafting issues most commonly exposed in litigation and provides practical guidance on preparing agreements that protect clients and minimise future conflict. 

This session will discuss: 

  • Drafting shareholders' agreements that reflect commercial objectives and minimise disputes.
  • Avoiding common drafting mistakes, including ambiguity and incomplete provisions.
  • Drafting effective valuation clauses.
  • Preparing governance, voting rights and reserved matters provisions.
  • Drafting share transfer, buy-out and exit mechanisms, including death and disability.
  • Protecting minority shareholder rights in share transfers and ownership changes.
  • Drafting dispute resolution, deadlock, confidentiality and restraint clauses.
  • Ensuring consistency with company constitutions and related corporate documents.
