Shareholder & Partnership Agreements

Clarifying Ownership, Responsibilities, and Risk

Strong business relationships are built on clear expectations. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we help business owners, partners, and shareholders protect their investments and avoid future conflict through well-structured shareholder and partnership agreements. Whether you’re launching a new enterprise or revising existing documents, our attorneys provide legal frameworks that foster transparency, accountability, and strategic alignment.

Why Shareholder Agreements Matter

Shareholder and partnership agreements govern some of the most critical elements of business operations, including ownership percentages, profit distribution, management responsibilities, and exit strategies. Without clear terms in place, even small disagreements can escalate into costly litigation. Our attorneys draft customized agreements that reflect the goals and expectations of each party, while protecting your interests under North Carolina business law.

Key Provisions We Help You Address

  • Ownership structure and voting rights
  • Capital contributions and distributions
  • Decision-making authority and dispute resolution
  • Transfer of ownership and buy-sell provisions
  • Exit strategies and dissolution procedures
  • Roles, responsibilities, and fiduciary duties

These agreements are not just legal documents—they are operating roadmaps that can prevent confusion and conflict when the unexpected arises.
