I will draft a comprehensive australian shareholders agreement as a solicitor
Licensed NSW Solicitor Australian Business Law
About this Gig
A properly structured Shareholders Agreement is the most critical document for any Australian company with multiple owners. Without one, business disputes can easily lead to costly litigation or corporate deadlock.
As a licensed NSW Solicitor, I draft comprehensive, legally robust Shareholders Agreements that govern the relationship between founders, protect minority/majority interests, and provide clear exit strategies.
Key provisions I can include:
- Board appointment and voting rights
- Founder vesting schedules
- Good Leaver / Bad Leaver provisions
- Pre-emptive rights and Right of First Refusal (ROFR)
- Drag-along and Tag-along rights
- Dispute resolution and deadlock-breaking mechanisms
My documents are drafted in alignment with the Australian Corporations Act. Ensure your startup or established company has a solid corporate foundation. Secure your business interests with a premium, enforceable agreement today.

FAQ
Why do I need a Shareholders Agreement if I have a Constitution?
A Constitution governs general company administration, while a Shareholders Agreement is a private contract managing owner disputes, exits, and control.
What are Good Leaver/Bad Leaver provisions?
These clauses dictate how a founder's shares are treated (e.g., forced sale or retention) if they resign, are terminated, or breach the contract.
Can you accommodate unequal share splits?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages can be tailored to protect both majority control and minority shareholder rights.
Is this compliant with the Corporations Act?
Yes, all documents are drafted to align with Australian corporate law and the Corporations Act 2001.
Do I receive an editable file?
Yes, you will receive a fully formatted Microsoft Word document that you can review and sign.
