A harmonious and clearly defined relationship between a company and its shareholders or partners is fundamental to corporate stability and long-term value creation. The balance of rights and obligations between management and owners, if left unmanaged, can lead to internal friction, strategic paralysis, and costly disputes. Our firm provides expert legal counsel dedicated to structuring and maintaining this critical relationship, ensuring the rights of all partners are protected and that corporate actions comply with the Georgian Law on Entrepreneurs. We help you build the foundation of trust and transparency essential for sustainable growth.
Proactive management of shareholder dynamics begins with a meticulously crafted shareholder or partnership agreement. This document serves as a constitution for the owners, going beyond the standard company charter to regulate critical matters like share transfers, dividend policies, capital call protocols, and exit strategies. By formalizing these rules of engagement from the outset, we significantly mitigate the risk of future conflicts. Should disputes arise, we provide strategic guidance to navigate disagreements effectively, protecting your interests whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
The formal mechanisms for shareholder engagement, such as the General Meeting, are fraught with procedural requirements that demand legal precision. We provide comprehensive assistance with this entire process, from proper notice and agenda setting to managing the complexities of voting. Our support ensures that resolutions are legally binding, safeguarding the company from procedural challenges. We place a crucial focus on minority shareholder protections. We advise on implementing robust mechanisms to protect the rights of non-controlling owners regarding access to information, fair treatment during major corporate transactions, and the prevention of oppressive conduct by the majority.
