FAQ
Why do I need this if I have Bylaws?
Bylaws are public/internal rules; an SHA is a private contract with more specific, enforceable rights between owners.
What are Drag-along rights?
They allow majority shareholders to force minority shareholders to join in the sale of a company.
Are you familiar with Delaware law?
Yes, most US startups are governed by Delaware law, and I specialize in it.
Is this for LLCs or Corporations?
This is specifically for Corporations (C-Corp or S-Corp).
Does this protect me from dilution?
I can include anti-dilution clauses in the Premium package.
Can you draft a Joinder Agreement?
Yes, to add new shareholders later.
