What’s involved in setting up a partnership?
A partnership is usually where two or more people, companies or trusts come together. Basic protections for partnerships and partners are set out in the Partnership Act. However, to fully provide for the powers, rights and obligations of partners – and protect you when things go wrong – a partnership agreement is a must.

Do I need a shareholder agreement?
While company constitutions and the Corporations Act provide minimum safeguards for shareholders rights and obligations and a means for resolving disputes and limited exit terms between shareholders, a shareholders’ agreement is vital to provide additional safeguards. Shareholders’ interests (majority or minority) are all different depending on your position, business model or industry.
We can help prepare, review and advise you about shareholders’ agreements, based on your circumstances.
