I'm setting up a company with partners.

The cheapest moment to resolve a shareholder dispute is before it exists. Capital is allocated, it is settled who decides what, and it is agreed how each of you leaves if one day you want to. First step: A draft shareholders' agreement with the four clauses that really decide: reinforced majorities, drag along and tag along, non-compete and exit.

An investor has come in and sent me their paperwork.

A term sheet is not a formality: it fixes the valuation, the future dilution and, very often, actual control of the company. What is signed there shapes every round that follows. First step: A clause-by-clause reading, translated into numbers: what percentage you keep in each scenario and what you have given away without noticing.

I want to sell my company. Or buy one.

The price is agreed at the start and lost at the end: in the representations and warranties, in the price adjustments, and in whatever does or does not surface in due diligence. First step: A one-page map of the deal: phases, the risks that actually matter, and a realistic timetable to signing.

My partner and I no longer see eye to eye.

Corporate deadlock gets worse on its own. Every month without a decision reduces the value of the company and narrows the exits available to both of you. First step: An honest analysis of your position and of the other side's, and the real routes out: negotiated, statutory or judicial, with their cost and their timescale.

I have capital and want the investment structured properly.

A good investment badly structured stops being one. The legal form of the vehicle, the entry of co-investors and the tax treatment are decided before investing, not after. First step: A review of the proposed structure from both banks of the river: the legal one and the return.

I've received a claim or a lawsuit.

Some deadlines cannot be recovered. The first decision, whether to respond, negotiate or wait, shapes the rest of the proceedings more than any later filing. First step: An assessment of deadlines and options on the first call, and who at the firm or among our consultants should take it on.
