Questions
We're two founders and we trust each other. Still needed?
Yes, and this is the stage that matters most. Most disputes happen where equity was agreed verbally and never documented.
Isn't our company constitution enough?
No. The constitution is public and high-level; the shareholders' agreement is private and governs control, exits and disputes in detail.
Who drafts this?
A Malaysian-qualified lawyer on our panel, not a form generator.
Can it be updated after a funding round?
Yes. The agreement should be amended as shareholders, rounds and boards change.
We've operated two years without one. Too late?
No. It is harder because current holdings are already fixed, but it is regularly done before an investor arrives.
We already have an agreement from another firm. Can you amend it?
Yes. We review it against your constitution and register, then redraft.
