By opting for\na private limited company, the directors will have an obligation to ensure the\ncompany complies with the regulatory process. This can be more important when\nyou are going to form your company as a foreign investor in Iran.

We also\nfollow with company directors&nbsp; to ensure\ndirectors do not fall foul of their legal obligations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Business Legal Advice <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During\nthe lifetime of your business, your business will inevitably need to change so\nthat it can thrive and expand. The big decision that you have to make for your\nbusiness are important and the outcome of those decisions are crucial for your\nbusiness. At these times, we&nbsp; know how\nimportant it is for businesses to have not only a legal advisor with a\nnecessary expertise but also as advisor that you can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\ncan assist your business in connection with changes to your business structure\nincluding relocation, franchises, merger and acquisitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Shareholder&#8217;s agreement <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nneed for shareholder&#8217;s agreement may arise on incorporation where there are 2\nor more shareholders or during the business lifelong. Shareholder&#8217;s agreement\nis a private contract between the owners of the company. The following\nsituations are examples of when you may need a shareholder&#8217;s agreement :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>In the private limited\n     company to set out the main rules and functions of the shareholders <\/li><li>Where a new shareholder is to\n     be appointed or the percentage holding of the shareholders are to change <\/li><li>In a joint venture, where the\n     duration and nature of the relationship between the parties needs to be\n     clarified<\/li><li>In management buyouts and\n     mergers where the landscape for the structure will change from the\n     existing shareholder relationship<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In\ncomparison to UK law, Iran regulations are less clear regarding the validity of\nshareholder&#8217;s agreement. Therefore, considerable attention needed when you are\ngoing to entre a shareholder&#8217;s agreement for your business in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At\na later date of your business you may have differing views on the direction the\nbusiness should take, and there is always an immanent risk that personal\ncircumstances can change for a person holding shares. For these reasons, this\nis imperative that the future planning on how the shareholders will act is\ndocumented while shareholders are in agreement. In the absence of the\nshareholder&#8217;s agreement, unless the shareholders can agree on every aspect of\nthe business, it will be difficult to reach a resolution when the owners are in\ndispute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nMohaghegh &amp; Associates, our trusted solicitors will advise you on the main\nprovisions to be included in the agreement and any particular requirements the\nowners want to include.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nagreement usually set outs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The shareholders&#8217; rights and\n     obligations<\/li><li>How general and specific\n     decisions will be made<\/li><li>The process for creating new\n     shares in the company <\/li><li>Pre-emption rights and the\n     process for selling the company shares<\/li><li>The roles of the directors\n     and management of the company<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A\ncarefully prepared shareholders&#8217; agreement will reduce the potential conflict\nat a later date by making sure that the business owners are clear on how the\nbusiness will be run and how the relationship between the shareholders will\nwork, from the beginning day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given\nthe speciality of Iran company law and Commercial Act 1969, the responsible\nsolicitor must ensure that the shareholder&#8217;s agreement is valid and\nenforceable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SME Specialist Our Company and Commercial team are well-equipped to handle a full range of corporate transactional work , registration and company law compliance and general advice on starting a business in Iran and UK.
