Are you planning to go into business together, or do you want to properly set out the agreements between shareholders? Marxman Advocaten in Amersfoort draws up shareholders’ agreements that prevent disputes. We arrange matters relating to control, profit distribution, decision-making and exit scenarios, so that everyone knows where they stand – particularly if things ever take a different turn. Marxman assists shareholders with, amongst other things: drafting and reviewing the shareholders’ agreement, arrangements regarding control and voting rights, effective exit and dispute resolution provisions, and ensuring consistency with the articles of association.

Why have a shareholders’ agreement?

The articles of association set out the basics, but many practical arrangements are best set out in a shareholders’ agreement: who decides what, how are profits distributed, and what happens if someone wishes to withdraw, falls ill or dies? Clear agreements made in advance help to prevent shareholder disputes later on.

Arranging exits and resolving disputes

The main purpose of the agreement is to provide clarity in the event of a departure or a disagreement. We include clear rules on buy-outs, valuation and dispute resolution, so that a conflict does not bring the company to a standstill.
