When to think strategically about shareholder arrangements
Resolving situations where shareholder relationships become strained, the business stops functioning properly or there is suspicion of assets being diverted out of the company.
We help shareholders, domestic and foreign investors and family business owners set relationships among shareholders so that the company has a solid foundation even for difficult situations and is protected against destructive deadlocks.
Typical moments when it makes sense to think strategically about shareholder arrangements:
- You are joining an existing company as a partner—an investor—or you are co-founding a new company
- You are a partner in a company (regardless of the size of your stake) where the partners also serve as its managing directors
- You are partners in a company that you plan to sell in the near future
- you are gradually beginning to disagree with another partner, but you are still able to agree on a number of things
- a partner has become too passive, but you want to continue actively developing the company and adding new business ideas
- you have a difficult business partner who exhibits narcissistic, manipulative, sociopathic, or psychopathic tendencies, or is simply excessively confrontational in many situations; they do not share your ethical and moral principles, and you are beginning to struggle to function within the company, and the situation is already weighing on you
