The Law & Practice of Shareholders’ Agreements, Sixth Edition

Now in its sixth edition, this popular, fully updated title explains the law on shareholders’ agreements in a clear and comprehensible style. It guides the reader through issues to consider when drafting a shareholders’ agreement, highlighting the commercial issues facing the client and ultimately the draftsmen.

It examines how shareholders can enforce their rights should a dispute arise, and in the event of insolvency or other reason for termination. It contains a number of precedents likely to be of use to those drafting, or advising in relation to shareholders’ agreements. 

Jennifer Haywood, Gareth Tilley, Jonathan McDonagh and Max Marenbon of Serle Court have contributed to this edition by updating several chapters as Christopher Ryan has retired.
