Read on to learn what private equity agreements our award-winning corporate law firm can assist you with.
Stockholder and Operating Agreements
A stockholder agreement, also frequently called a shareholder agreement, is a crucial part of the relationship among shareholders of corporations. Similar to a stockholder agreement, an operating agreement is the crucial part of the relationship among the members of a limited liability company. It’s vital that these types of agreements be completed in partnership with an experienced law advisor in order to ensure that all relevant matters regarding the relationship among the shareholders or members are addressed.
Our private equity law advisors are well-versed in stockholder and operating agreements and will assist you with the necessary insight, legal advice, and forethought to prevent future discrepancies between parties.
Equity Incentive Plans
Employees of portfolio companies are often compensated in part through equity in that portfolio company. Providing employees with equity can assist in attracting new and experienced employees, preventing employee turnover and building employee comradery. At Forbes Law, we have significant experience in the creation of equity incentive plans.
Our team of knowledgeable equity attorneys can help customize an incentive plan that fits the goals for your employees. Usually, these are done through bonds, stocks, or warrants.
Portfolio Company Acquisition and Divestiures
We understand the stakes involved in portfolio company acquisitions and divestitures. Our experienced team of private equity lawyers can help protect your assets and investments by developing strategic goals specifically tailored to each client.
With client’s ranging from lower middle-market to high-net-worth investors, we’re confident in our ability to provide guidance for building a diverse portfolio of companies and managing their divestitures.
When you choose Forbes Law, your investments are given the attention they deserve. We supply you with high quality legal advice. We know how important your business and investments are; our guidance is unmatched and guaranteed.
Employment Agreements
The base-level of any good business revolves around employee agreements. We assist our private equity clients in creating employment agreements for the employees at their portfolio companies. These typically cover basic agreements such as:
- Salary and Benefits
- Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Provisions
- Ownership of IP
- Non-Compete and Non-Contravention Provisions
Our team can assist you with developing employment agreements that lay out the rights, obligations, and culpabilities of both parties. Without an employment agreement, businesses run the risk of future misunderstandings that can lead to a potential lawsuit or even a business shut down.
