What we review
A shareholder agreement governs how a company is run once there is more than one owner. Our lawyers check the clauses that decide control, exit, and what happens when shareholders disagree or a new investor joins.
Shareholder rights and protections — voting thresholds, pre-emption, drag-along enforceability — are shaped heavily by corporate law in the company’s jurisdiction of incorporation. We review each clause against the law that applies to your company.
Which decisions require shareholder approval, and at what voting threshold.
Whether majority shareholders can force a sale, and minority shareholders can join one.
Existing shareholders’ right to maintain their percentage stake before new shares are issued.
How your stake is protected — or not — in a future down round.
Whether shareholders can freely sell shares, and any right-of-first-refusal terms.
Who can appoint directors and how board control is structured.
What happens when shareholders reach an impasse on a key decision.
What financial and operational information shareholders are entitled to see.
Restrictions on shareholders competing with or disclosing company information.
Which law governs and how shareholder disputes are resolved.
Shareholder agreements should reflect your company’s specific cap table, corporate form, and jurisdiction of incorporation. Our lawyers tailor every review to your actual agreement and governing law rather than applying a fixed template.

What clients say
5.0★ average from 5 verified reviews“We were under pressure to sign a customer agreement with a UK client within 48 hours. ContractDesk reviewed the contract the same day, flagged a few risky clauses around liability and payment terms, and suggested practical revisions that the client accepted without much negotiation. The process was smooth and the advice was genuinely commercial, not just legal.”
“As our startup started closing enterprise customers, our contracts became far more complex. ContractDesk has become our go to legal partner for reviewing MSAs, NDAs, and SaaS agreements. Their comments are easy to understand, turnaround is consistently fast, and the quality has been excellent”
“The trademark registration process was much smoother than I expected. The team first checked whether my brand name was available, explained the risks in plain English, and handled the filing end to end. They kept me updated throughout the process and were always available to answer questions. Great experience overall.”
