Why a shareholders agreement matters early
Most founder fights trace to terms never written down. So a shareholders agreement matters from day one. We draft it to keep the peace.
Also, an investor will expect clear rights and exits. So we build them in cleanly. Instead of a vague pact, we set roles, shares, and exits. Then growth stays smooth.

What a shareholders agreement covers

- First, the equity split and vesting terms
- Then, board and decision rights

- Next, investor rights and exit terms
- Besides, a deadlock and dispute route
- Finally, a clear, binding agreement
The law behind a shareholders agreement
The Companies Act and contract law govern how shares, rights, and exits are set and enforced. So each clause carries weight.
A court reads the agreement with the company’s articles. Aligned, clear terms hold up on a dispute. You can read the governing statutes on the official India Code portal.

Shareholders agreement — common questions
Why do co-founders need one?
To set equity, roles, and exits before any dispute. We draft it early and clean.
What is vesting?
It ties a founder’s shares to time or milestones. We build fair vesting in.
What are tag and drag rights?
They protect minority and majority sellers in an exit. We set them clearly.
Does it bind the company too?
It works best aligned with the articles. We match the two so both hold.
Can we add an investor later?
Yes. We draft it to allow new investors on set terms.
