Document background
The Shareholder Management Agreement is a critical document used when multiple shareholders need to establish clear guidelines for company governance and shareholder relationships under Swiss law. It becomes particularly relevant in situations involving multiple shareholders, family businesses, or companies with complex ownership structures. The agreement typically addresses key aspects such as share transfer restrictions, voting rights, board representation, and dispute resolution mechanisms. This document is essential for preventing potential conflicts and ensuring smooth corporate operations while maintaining compliance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. The agreement serves as a fundamental governance tool that helps balance the interests of different shareholder groups while providing a clear framework for corporate decision-making and ownership changes.
