Get off to a good start in the best legal framework

Advice on ownership and drafting ownership agreements is relevant as soon as a company has more than one owner. We always recommend establishing a framework for the operation of the company to avoid having to deal with issues later.

Our advice is always based on the client’s business and the owners’ long-term goals and wishes. On this basis, we draw up a contractual basis that addresses, among other things

• Company governance – including how the executive board and board of directors should be appointed, how decision-making processes should take place, whether there should be minority protection, etc.
• The company’s capital structure – including rules for any restoration of equity.
• Employment of co-owners in the company – including decision-making powers and conditions.
• Non-compete clauses when leaving the ownership group.
• Sanctions for breach of the agreement.
• How to handle disputes and disagreements.

Preventing disagreements

Formålet med en gennemarbejdet ejeraftale er at forebygge uenigheder mellem ejerne i virksomheden i fremtiden. Jo mere umage man har gjort sig med at gennemgå mulige stridspunkter og aftalt, hvordan man agter at håndtere sådanne tvister, jo større er chancen for, at ejeraftalen aldrig kommer op af skuffen igen.
