How we help
Whether you need a shareholders’ agreement (SHA) drafted from scratch or you want an existing one checked before you sign, we handle it at a fixed fee, usually in hours rather than weeks. You get a qualified solicitor on every matter and a fixed fee agreed up front.
Most early-stage companies run on a one-size-fits-all set of articles that says almost nothing about the things that actually cause founder fallouts: vesting, leaver terms, decision rights, and what happens when someone wants out. A proper SHA fills that gap. We draft one around how your company actually works, not a template with your name pasted in.
Already have one? Get it checked.
Plenty of founders download a template, fill it in, and then want a real solicitor to look it over before everyone signs. That instinct is right. Templates are a reasonable starting point, but they are generic by design, and the clauses that matter most are exactly the ones a template cannot tailor to your situation. Send us what you have. We will review it, flag the gaps and the genuine risks in plain English, tell you what is standard and what is worth changing, and hand you a marked-up version you can act on.
