Safeguard Your Rights, Ensure Consistency, and Avoid Costly Disputes!
FBA and State Partners, ADLV Law, are delighted to bring together our South Australian Forum Group community.
In a family business, relationships matter—but so does clear governance. A well-crafted Shareholders' Agreement is essential for protecting shareholder rights, ensuring consistent governance, and preventing conflicts that can arise from ambiguous or conflicting documents.
A Shareholders’ Agreement reduces surprises, sets expectations, and helps everyone stay on the same page.
Join us to learn about:
- what a Shareholders’ Agreement should include
- how to put one together and
- why an appropriate Shareholders’ Agreement is a critical piece of any family business’s governance blueprint.
