Shareholders’ Agreements: Why You Need a Shareholders Agreement Prepared by a Solicitor?

Have you ever considered entering a business venture with family or friends? Have you ever been invited to subscribe for shares and invest in a company whose future looks promising and bright? If the answer is yes, then you should also consider a shareholders’ agreement to protect your investment and for this purpose you have to consult with a Shareholder Agreement Solicitor who can take care of all the stuff.

What is it?

A shareholders’ agreement is a written contract entered into by two or more parties who are shareholders of a limited company. They simply describe the relationship between shareholders.It is a private document that is not disclosed publicly. The company is guided by a set of articles of association and the shareholders’ agreement.

Shareholders’ agreements can cover everything from regulating directors, dividends, management of the company and how to move shares from one person to another and dispute resolution solutions.

Before embarking on an agreement, it would pay to engage a solicitor to ensure that all elements of the agreement are dealt with and amicably agreed between all parties.

Practicalities

The lack of shareholder agreements can cause costly disputes. These agreements are a good guide for shareholders’ and company directors to review shareholders’ rights.

When should it be in place?

A shareholders’ agreement should be in place just before or when a company is formed and the first shares are issued. It offers a common understanding from the get-go for all concerned. It should be one of the priorities before the business really takes off.

Directors

Directors manage the company’s affairs. So it will be a requirement of the agreement to acknowledge that the directors can take decisions that may affect the shareholders. These decisions often involve operating and financing the company and issuing new shares.

Selling shares

Ideally, an agreement will flesh out a shareholder’s right to require the company or other shareholders to buy their shares. By doing so, it negates the potential for other shareholders to dilute the value of a shareholding. A suggested clause will mean either the company would have to be sold to realise the share value or shareholders will be forced to make a reasonable offer. A method to work out the value of the company can be drafted into the agreement.

Minority shareholders

For those with a minority shareholding, a shareholders’ agreement can help set out when they will have a say in the company’s affairs and over what matters and when the majority can make decisions without the minority.

Dividends and dispute resolutions

A shareholders’ agreement will help outline what shareholders’ rights are to receiving dividends and alsoset out how any potential disputes that may arise between shareholders can be resolved.

Risks

Not putting an agreement together, or even putting together a poorly drafted one, will mean serious problems for shareholders and a great mess that could deflect the company’s focus. So it’s essential to get the right legal advice to ensure the foundation is laid for the future.

As expert solicitors in drafting these agreements we can help you to make sure your concerns are covered and interests are protected.

Data protection: What you need to know

Nath solicitors is a specialist boutique law practice based in London. We are highly experienced in advising large multinational companies as well as private companies’ start-ups entrepreneurs and individuals.

Data and Privacy. Here are some simple guidelines we have produced and which are designed to be of help to those who may not have considered the risks in holding storing or processing personal data.

Definition

Data protection is, as it suggests, the protection of personal information used by governments or businesses. Those responsible have to follow data protection laws, which state that data must be used accurately, fairly, used according to an individuals’ rights, and kept safe and secure.

These rights have been enhanced by the General Date Protection Regulation (GDPR) which was adopted in April 2016.

When will GDPR take force?

The GDPR will force all organisations in Europe to comply with the rules two years after being adopted. It is in force from May 2018.

GDPR objectives

The GDPR seeks to unify the rules within the EU to give citizens a simplified regulatory environment by having the same rules throughout the EU. People will have more information on how their data is processed, presented in a clear and understandable way.

Citizens will also have the right to know as soon as possible if their data has been hacked or disclosed.

It will also be easier for people to transfer their personal data between service providers such as social networks – thanks to the new right of “data portability”.

The reforms will boost legal certainty for businesses; with a single set of rules across the EU. Thanks to the one-stop-shop, companies will only have to deal with one single supervisory authority – rather than the present 28.

With the new rules, non-EU companies will have to apply the same rules as EU companies, when offering their services to customers in the EU this creates a level playing field.

The new rules are also future-proof: technologically neutral and fit for innovation and big data analytics.

Responsibilities

The GDPR now incorporates a retention time for personal data, while contact information for the data protection officer has to be provided. Profiling is now contestable and citizens have the right to question decisions that affect them. The GDPR requires data protection to be designed into the development of business processes and to be taken seriously.

Breaches

Under the GDPR, the data protection office will now be under obligation toreport to the Information Commissioners Office within 72 hours if there is a data security breach.

What data do organisations have?

People have a right to know what data is held about them. They can do so by writing to the organisation and asking for a copy of the information held about them. Organisations are legally required to provide you a copy of the data they hold about you. This is called a subject access request. You can find a sample of this on the Information Commissioners’ website.

Making a complaint

If a person believes their data has been misused in any way, then they should contact the specific organisation. Alternatively, they can seek advice from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Seeking a way around commercial property legal disputes by NathSolicitors

Being on the end of a commercial property legal dispute, whether as a landlord or a tenant, is painful and, ultimately, awkward.

Landlords can face the stress and hassle of dealing with unwanted legal issues, while tenants can be left completely isolated in dealing with issues they may never have even dreamed of.

In short, a commercial legal property dispute is time-consuming, money-thrashing and potentially damaging.

So for either party, the best that they can do is pull up the drawbridge and head off to a solicitor who is capable of smoothing over the areas of dispute and effectively as a referee to prevent matters going to court and becoming even more unsalvageable.

If you are looking for a commercial solicitor, then seek one that can show testimonials from clients that brought about disputes to a swift and not-too-costly end

Disputes and litigation come in all shapes, sizes, colours and hues, but a solicitor should be able to work through all the jargon and the complexities of the case to come up resolutions and conclusions.

For landlords, the issues may well range from buildings change of use, damage, extensions and disrepair, to contract reviews and breaches.

Equally, they must be adept at lease negotiation, renewal and terminations, able to look at the recovery of service charges, repossession and often the thorny issues revolving around rent reviews and arrears.

Tenants will also be best assured if a solicitor can advise them on the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, where their own rights start and end, and what actions they can take if the landlord begins to step out of line, legally.

Commercial property legal disputes can affect any business, whether it’s a barber, a cafe, offices, restaurants, or warehouses.

What solicitors are good at is advising either side on their obligations and the potential for action if the dispute cannot be resolved to their clients’ satisfaction.

Foremost in anyone’s mind is utilising a solicitor that can offer jargon free, straight forward advice.

No one likes to go to court. It’s expensive and time consuming and incredibly stressful. So if you’re at the end of your tether and need advice in a commercial property legal dispute, then call us now.

Partnership Agreements: An Outline

What is it?

Partnership agreements are essentially guidelines to give business partners clarity and purpose in their dealings with each other. Each partnership is different, so each agreement will uniquely reflect that.

What does it set out?

The agreement sets out the rights and obligations of the partners, their investments in the business, who owns what property in the partnership and how the profits will be shared. It also regulates how decisions are made.

Is there any need for a partnership agreement?

A written agreement is ideal if they are to reflect important elements of the partnership, particularly if they are involving friends and family, or indeed parties who have got together with a common interest. An agreement enables partners the chance to head off any potential legal actions later down the line.

If there is no agreement, then the Partnership Act 1890 will apply and that may be unsuitable for the parties.

The ins and outs of an agreement

A written partnership agreement will set out such things as to what the rules of the partnership will be, the nature of the business, what happens if a partner wishes to join or leave, the financial elements of the partnership, what happens if a partner dies, how the partnership may dissolve or brought to an end, how a partner can be brought out.

How many partners can sign?

Following law changes, there is no maximum on the number of partners signing an agreement.

Partnership termination

An agreement should also set out what the dissolution of a partnership means and who is liable to the other partners in terms of money borrowed, leases or contracts pertaining to the business agreement.

Risks

Without an agreement in place, partners could very quickly quit, set up as a competitor, forcing you to lose even more business, while you are still trying to cope with the stress and fallout of the partnership ending.

Inevitably, partners in business will lead to addressing an agreement sooner rather than later, and they should seek the advice of a solicitor as to what the agreement entails and the personal risks of not taking one out for the benefit of the partners and the business.

A partnership agreement is essentially an insurance policy which will negate the need for partners to seek legal redress if everything is set out beforehand.

At Nath Solicitors, we are experienced at drafting bespoke Partnership agreements tailored to match our client’s intentions and requirements. For further information, please contact us today.

Tenants: Get Your Landlord’s Lenders Consent to Your Lease

The importance of tenants obtaining the landlord’s lender’s consent.

Whilst the common goal for most prospective tenants’ is to get the formalities connected to the lease completed as fast as possible, it is important to slow down enough to ensure that the Landlord’s lender has provided his consent to the grant of the lease.

What is the worst that could happen?

Well, the implications depend on the type of lease you are entering into.

A lease granted for a period of more than seven years.

There is a requirement for any lease that is granted for a term a period of more than seven years to be registered at the Land Registry. The Landlord’s title will contain the lender’s charge and will usually be protected by a restriction on dispositions of the landlord’s title, requiring evidence that the consent of the lender has been obtained.

The effect of not obtaining the lender’s consent is that a prospective tenant’s application to register a lease cannot be successful they cannot obtain the legal title, as disposition requires the grant of a lease.

A lease for a period of seven years or less

If a lease grants any easements these must also be registered and as above also falls within the definition of disposition which requires the grant of a lease.

Other implications

Restrictions and easements aside, other implications of failing to obtain the lender’s consent also exist such as, where the landlord defaults, leaving the lender as a mortgagee in possession or where the lender appoints a receiver.

The lender can then sell the property on to someone else who is not party to the lease and who may decide that they want the tenant to leave the property.

The lender may even be able carry out enforcement actions even where the landlord does not default.

Can the requirements be amended?

It is possible for the landlord to negotiate its funding agreements with the lender to the effect that certain specified short leases can be granted without needing the lender’s consent and would reflected in the restrictions on the title.

The Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA) also contains powers to grant leases and whilst these would be binding on both landlord and lenders they do not include funding agreement.

Comments

It is clear from the above that the tenant should not undervalue the importance of obtaining the consent of the landlord’s lender.

A key point to note is that the lender is not obligated to provide a decision quickly or even to grant a lease. As prospective tenants tend to be impatiently eager about completing the process as quickly as possible, it would be recommended that tenants raise this issue quite early on in their negotiations to avoid any unnecessary delays.

Please note that above is for guidance purposes and does not constitute as being legal advice. Should you require further information please contact us today.

NEW DATA PROTECTION REGULATION LOOMING-ARE YOU PREPARED?

Elizabeth Denham, the Information Commissioner attended the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICA) on 17th January for a lecture where she warned that:

“When it comes to data protection, small businesses tend to be less well prepared…But small organisations often process a lot if personal data, and the reputation and liability risks
are just as real…”

As many should now be aware that the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force in May 2018 and it is critical that businesses big and small start preparing now and implementing measures to ensure their compliance with the new regulations. Choosing the right solicitors with the right expertise to help you with this is crucial.

It should be noted that the UK will still be a part of the EU when the GDPR is enforced and even after the UK leaves the EU, business that wants to operate in the EU will still need to be compliant.

The Information Commissioner stressed that the biggest change concerning the GDPR is accountability. The responsibility will be on the companies to understand the risk that they are creating for others and taking adequate measures to mitigate those risks. The Information Commissioner stated that; “It’s about moving away from seeing the law a box ticking exercise…”.
The Information Commissioner revealed that the government’s recent cyber risk survey showed that despite 69 per cent of businesses stating that their senior management ranks cyber security as a high priority, in reality only half of business had taken any real steps to identify cyber risks.
The Information Commissioners Office received almost 200,000 calls on their helpline last year and issued more than £1million worth of fines last year to organisations found to not be compliant with the regulations. It is a clear warning therefore that there will be no excuses come May 2018 when the GDPR is enforced for getting it wrong!

As you can see; central to the Information Commissioners address at the ICA was that the GDPR’s arrival is imminent and everyone is at risk. Businesses must learn to embrace the changes and adapt.

At Nath Solicitors, we understand that with the new regulations looming, businesses may find themselves feeling lost and confused and not know where to even begin. We would therefore encourage you to get in touch with us today and find out how we can help you.
