  • PROTECTION OF YOUR INTERESTS: A shareholder agreement can protect your interests as a shareholder and ensure that your rights are protected.

  • SUCCESSION PLANNING: A shareholder agreement can establish a plan for the succession of the company and ensure that your interests are protected in the future.

  • ESTABLISHMENT OF EXPECTATIONS: A shareholder agreement can establish clear expectations for the company and its shareholders, including the roles and responsibilities of each.

  • CONFLICT RESOLUTION: A shareholder agreement can establish a process for resolving conflicts that avoids costly and prolonged disputes among shareholders.

  • PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION: A shareholder agreement can include provisions that protect shareholders from unfair dilution of their shares.

  • AVOIDANCE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE ISSUES: A shareholder agreement can establish a framework for decision-making and avoid corporate governance issues.

  • INVESTMENT PROTECTION: A shareholder agreement can include provisions to protect shareholders' investment and ensure that it is used responsibly.

  • PREVENTION OF UNWANTED SALES: A shareholder agreement can include provisions that prevent unwanted sales of shares by shareholders.

  • CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTION: A shareholder agreement can establish provisions to protect the confidentiality of the company and its shareholders.

  • PROTECTION AGAINST UNFAIR COMPETITION: A shareholder agreement can include provisions that protect the company from unfair competition by shareholders.
