Protect the value of your shares with a Joint Venture or Shareholders Agreement
Choose TemplateProtect your interests
Any company with more than one shareholder should have a Shareholders Agreement in place. This is essential and it helps preserve the value of your shareholding.
Don't rely on standard Articles
The standard Articles of Association (usually the Model Articles or Table A Articles) that most companies have are no good when the company is owned by more than 1 shareholder. Address this issue with a Shareholders Agreement.
Avoid shareholder disputes
With a good mechanism in place in a Shareholders Agreement, shareholder disputes are generally avoided or quickly resolved. This saves money, time and stress.

Our templates for joint ventures and shareholders agreements
Our templates are well-written and each come with a thorough guide, to help you work your way through them. You also have access to our helpline should you need it, for peace of mind.
NB our “joint venture agreement” template is essentially the same document as our “shareholders agreement“: some people prefer to call it one name and some the other. Both of them come as 2 different versions:
- one where there are just 2 shareholders; and
- one where you have more than 2 shareholders.
You get access to both, so you can pick the one you need. If you later grow from 2 shareholders to more, then you will already have access to the other one that you need, at no further cost. All just part of the Legalo advantage.
If you are signing up to an existing shareholders agreement, then use our Deed of Adherence template for this.
