What you get from us
Vetting the Investors' proposed Term Sheet or Shareholders' Agreement
Your prospective Investor may put forward its own term sheet or draft Shareholders' Agreement for your consideration and acceptance. In such cases, it is critical to carefully review the documents and identify any terms that are punitive on the Startup or are appearing to be unreasonably disadvantageous to the Founders. Our team of advisors will help you to establish the deal breakers with the prospective Investor and suggest changes that should be made to rectify them.
Drafting Shareholders' Agreement (SHA)
Our multi-disciplinary team comprising of Legal and Financial experts can draft a fair and sound Shareholders' Agreement between your Startup and prospective Investor, suggesting you all the terms and conditions that should be forming part of the agreement that ensure that your relationship with the investor stands the test of time.
Suggesting changes to the Company's charter documents
Several terms that often form part of a Shareholders' Agreement can only be legally enforceable when incorporated in the Company's AoA and MoA. Therefore, once the agreement is signed, our team will identify the clauses requiring modifications/additions/deletions and suggest the changes to be made therein.
