Shareholders Agreement, Share Purchase Agreement, Term Sheet: preparing and negotiating investment agreements that protect the rights of founders and investors.
Free consultation →What I will handle for you
An investor coming on board, or selling a business, requires precise contractual documentation. A well set up SHA protects founders from losing control, while the investor gets certainty and exit terms. A win win outcome is the result of good legal preparation.

How to set up an SHA when an investor joins your company
A Shareholders Agreement (SHA) is a key document when an external investor joins. It must address: approval processes (what requires consensus), protection of the minority investor (a veto over key decisions), drag-along and tag-along rights, the founders’ lock-up period, anti-dilution rights in a down round, exit mechanisms, and how a deadlock is resolved. Founders often underestimate the strength of the SHA, while the investor is usually an experienced negotiator. I will represent your interests during negotiations and make sure the SHA is fair to both sides.
