Shareholder agreements drafted to your actual deal.
Voting, board, and consent provisions that hold.
Buy-sell, valuation, and transfer restrictions that work.
Why shareholder agreements matter
Shareholder agreements bind owners on issues that statutes do not — transfers, vetoes, board composition, dispute resolution. Without one, the default rules govern; usually they do not match what owners actually want.
