What should be included? The main areas you should think about including are as follows: Running the business: appointing, removing, remunerating directors; financing arrangements; banking arrangements; how directors will communicate with shareholders about performance; Good/Bad leaver clauses – set out terms of transfer of all or some of the shares of a departing director-shareholder to the remaining ones based on the reason for departure. If a founder is also employed as a director of the company, he or she has employment rights, which are quite separate to shareholder rights. Good leaver/bad leaver clauses provide a mechanism to tie the end of employment with the end of share ownership. Good leaver clauses provide incentives to founders who are important to the business to stay working in it until milestones are reached, while bad leaver clauses act as a deterrent to leaving early or breaching another contract (such as a director’s service agreement). Leavers of both types can be defined by actions as broadly or as narrowly as the shareholders like, with one being the remainder of actions that the other isn’t. Typically, actions that would define a good leaver would be.

We have won cases both inside and outside of court for landlords – even where it repossessing a property to recover the rent owed. In many instances, a tenant can simply change their contact details, hoping the landlord gives up chasing payments.

A break clause is written into the commercial lease from the outset and allows a Tenant (and even a Landlord) to end a lease early by serving a notice on the other party. The lease will set out certain requirements that must be followed to ensure the break is valid, for example, the Tenant may be required to give the Landlord notice that they wish to enact the break clause, and all outstanding monies due must be paid. On the other hand, a Tenant may find that the preconditions set by the Landlord mean that the break clause is, in reality, incapable of being exercised. If both parties opt out of the legislation as part of the lease, there is no automatic right to security of tenure. Under these circumstances, a Tenant can vacate the property without providing notice by informing the other by writing. If a Tenant refuses to vacate the property, the Landlord will usually need to undertake possession proceedings. Find even more info on https://blackstonesolicitorsltd.co.uk/.
