Business Structures

Building robust business foundations for tomorrow.

At the heart of every business is the desire to get it right from the start. Our hands-on team specialises in crafting the backbone of your business, from establishing fresh ventures to penning clear-cut Partnership and Shareholder Agreements.

At Batt Broadbent, we’re not just solicitors but your allies in the business world. With expertise spanning decades, we understand your challenges, and are here to help. Together, we’ll ensure your venture stands on solid ground.

Partnership, shareholder, and joint venture agreements are puzzle pieces that fit your unique business structure.

A partnership agreement sets the ground rules for your working relationship, such as how you will split the profits. If you do not have one, the default position is that you will be subject to the rules set down in statute in 1890 that are unlikely to suit your business.

Shareholder agreements govern the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in companies. A properly drafted agreement will ensure you have processes in place to deal with an array of situations, such as what happens if a shareholder dies or wants to sell their shares.

If you are working with another business on a project, a joint venture agreement will set out the rules for the collaboration while maintaining each business’ separate identity.
