The sale of a business constitutes a complex operation; in addition to multiple strategic and financial considerations, both the seller and the buyer must also take into account the fiscal and legal ramifications. Considering their oftne diverging interests, that parties will have to conduct serious negotiations in order to reach a mutual agreement. For example, the seller who may profit from a sizeable fiscal exemption by carrying out a sale of shares will oppose the best interest of the buyer, who will favour a sale of assets so that that he does not need to assume the business' liabilities.
Our professional understand that the success of a transaction or sale of a business often depends on whether the parties involved are able to reach a compromise. Negotiation is an art which our professionals use to protect your interests while ensuring that the primary goal: to close a transaction that is of utmost importance for you and your business, is achieved.
A shareholders' agreement is a fundamental tool in governing sharholder relationships between themsolves and the corporation. By setting the rules out clearly at the outset, a carefully drafted shareholders' agreement helps to resolve and limit future conflicts between shareholders.
A shareholders' agreement typically provides contractual mechanisms to ensure the continuing proportionality of shareholder holdings, to protect the interests of minority shareholders and to further provide conflict resolution.
When the shareholders' agreement is unanimous, it may also serve to limit the powers of the board of directors, rendering the control of the corporation in the hands of the shareholders.
Due to the widely different structures from one corporation to the other, a shareholders' agreement must be tailor-made. When drafting a shareholders' agreement, the JuriBoutique layers put their expertise to work.
