Shareholders' Agreement That Structures Your Corporate Expansion Dreams

Structure new ventures that protect parent company interests. Expand strategically, govern systematically.

Real lawyers for real businesses

Your board approved the new business unit. RM 10 million budget, eighteen-month timeline, potential RM 50 million revenue stream. You recruit the perfect general manager and promise equity incentives for performance. Six months later, they demand board representation in the parent company. They claim intellectual property ownership for innovations using your resources. They threaten to leave and compete if their equity demands are refused. Your strategic expansion becomes internal warfare where unclear structures destroy corporate governance and threaten established business operations.

Shareholders Agreement for Corporate Business Unit Setup

Professional drafting of comprehensive shareholders' agreements that structure corporate business unit ownership while maintaining absolute parent company control and consistent management standards across all subsidiaries.

Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support

You build the business. We help you protect it.

You built this corporation to create multiple revenue streams and dominate market segments through controlled strategic expansion. New business units should accelerate corporate growth while maintaining operational control and consistent management standards. Right now, unclear ownership structures and missing governance protections threaten to turn strategic expansion into management chaos where subsidiary leaders operate outside corporate authority. Legal That Works transforms business unit creation into structured corporate advantage with bulletproof parent company control. We design ownership frameworks that motivate performance while ensuring consistent corporate governance and absolute strategic oversight across all subsidiaries.

We've Helped

You Need To Act Now

Important: Limited Slots

Every month you delay business unit structuring, subsidiary management creates precedents and operational independence that undermines corporate control permanently. We accept only eight corporate business unit agreements per quarter because sophisticated corporate control structures require dedicated attention from our most experienced corporate governance partners. When subsidiary control disputes arise, regaining corporate authority costs more than establishing it through proper initial structure. Your expansion window has strategic timing and our capacity fills faster than corporate control problems multiply.

Nothing to Lose. Everything to Protect.

No Surprises. No Guesswork. Just Legal That Works.

Before anything starts, we speak with you to understand your business and make sure the service is the right fit. If it is not, we will say so upfront. No pressure. No wasted time. We only take on matters we are confident we can deliver with quality. That is why business owners trust us to get it right.
