Shareholders' agreements, partnerships, LLPs and joint ventures

Shareholders' agreements, partnerships, LLPs and joint ventures

Whatever the nature of your collaboration or investment, we can help you put the right documentation in place to protect your position going forward.

It is important for the shareholders in the company, partners in a partnership or members of an LLP to be clear on the following:

how your entity will be managed day to day;

• what decisions need additional consent;

• what happens if you hit deadlock or fallout;

• how to manage an exit or succession planning; and

• how the venture will be financed.

A joint-venture will not always need to be operated through a separate entity. Sometimes you can simply enter into a commercial agreement where you agree who will do what and how much they will be paid or pay for what.

Jon Rathbone's experience as a commercial and corporate lawyer puts him in a fantastic position to advise you of the most suitable legal structure.

Call 01242 574244 or contact us to find out how we can help with all your corporate and commercial needs.

“Having the support of Marcus throughout what has been a very painful divorce has really helped me get through the last 18 months. Although this has personally been a very difficult process, I know that Marcus has done everything possible to make it as smooth as it can be. I really appreciate the honest, open feedback to all of my questions and also how quickly he responded to them. Above all else, Marcus really does seem to care about his clients and their families. I never had the feeling that this was just a job for Marcus, and I’m so grateful that I was fortunate enough to have had Marcus recommended to me when I did.”

“When you use a solicitor its usually in times of need, when you require expert advice and reassurance. This is exactly what our company has received from Hughes Paddison Solicitors and in particular Kimberly Whalen-Blake. Not only is Kimberly extremely well informed and professional; she is also personable and easy to communicate with. She responds to messages and emails promptly and goes over and above to assist. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services; and in the future, if necessary, I will definitely be calling on her expertise. ”

“ Hughes Paddison came highly recommended and they were not wrong. I am so glad I appointed Kim to represent me. It was a really difficult time and Kim swiftly and compassionately cut through to the crux of the issue and gave me such clear and great advice immediately. The outcome achieved was truly the best for myself and the organisation and avoided more stress for all parties involved, as it was solved very quickly. Most importantly for me, Kim handled the negotiations. The relief of handing this over to someone I completely trusted made a horrible situation much better. Many thanks to Kim and HP.”
