The Company Shareholder Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing or formalizing the relationship between shareholders in a Danish company. It becomes particularly relevant during company formation, when new shareholders join, or when existing shareholders wish to formalize their arrangements. The agreement, governed by Danish law and particularly the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven), includes essential provisions for share transfers, voting rights, board representation, and dispute resolution. It serves as a vital tool for preventing and resolving potential conflicts between shareholders while ensuring efficient company governance. The document must comply with Danish corporate law requirements while accommodating specific needs of the business and its shareholders.
