Shareholders Agreement Review

Instant, expert-designed contract reviews for just £99

A shareholders agreement is one of the most important documents for any company with more than one shareholder. It governs the relationship between the shareholders, sets out their rights and obligations, and provides a framework for decision-making, dispute resolution, and what happens when a shareholder wants to leave.

Without a well-drafted shareholders agreement, disputes can escalate quickly and become extremely costly. Many businesses operate without one, relying solely on the company's articles of association, which often do not provide adequate protection.

QuickLegalCheck reviews your shareholders agreement for just £99, identifying key risks, missing provisions, and potential improvements — delivered in plain English within minutes.

Dividend Policy

Governs how and when profits are distributed to shareholders.

Transfer Restrictions

Controls how shares can be sold or transferred, including pre-emption rights and tag-along/drag-along provisions.

Deadlock Resolution

Drag-Along and Tag-Along Rights

Best Practice

For majority shareholders, ensure the agreement gives adequate control while being fair enough to retain minority shareholder confidence.

For minority shareholders, focus on protections such as pre-emption rights, tag-along rights, reserved matters requiring your consent, and fair valuation mechanisms on exit.

Why Use QuickLegalCheck?

Traditional solicitor reviews are thorough but often expensive and slow. A solicitor may charge £500 to £1,500 plus VAT for a detailed review, and turnaround times can be several days or even weeks.

QuickLegalCheck offers an alternative that is both faster and more affordable, without sacrificing clarity. Our £99 instant contract review gives you a written report in plain English, focusing on the key issues, risks, and practical improvements. The process is confidential, secure, and entirely online.
