When a new company is formed, it is imperative that a Shareholder Agreement is prepared as the absence of such an agreement renders it very difficult and complicated to clarify each shareholders’ rights and each directors’ obligations within the company. This can lead to disputes as it can be quite common to have different personalities within a new company that bring varying levels of expertise and experience, which ultimately lead to differences of opinion. No matter what the reason is, whether it is to do with finances or otherwise, disputes will often arise between shareholders and directors.
