How We Help
Shareholder agreement support for Yorkville corporations.
We assist with agreements that address governance, founder roles, investor rights, professional ownership, family interests, transfers, valuation, buyouts, deadlocks, and records.
Yorkville shareholders may be involved in a professional corporation, investment company, consulting practice, real estate holding corporation, family business, founder-led venture, or private company with outside investors. When ownership is tied to capital, professional work, family planning, or growth expectations, the agreement between shareholders needs to be clear enough to guide real decisions.
Goldstone Law PC helps Yorkville corporations prepare and review shareholder agreements that reflect the company’s ownership, working roles, and future plans. We look at who owns shares, who works in the company, who contributes money or property, who has signing authority, whether investors or family members are involved, and what the owners expect if control or ownership changes.
A practical agreement can address voting rules, reserved decisions, director and officer roles, signing authority, shareholder loans, capital contributions, dividends, new share issuances, dilution, transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal, buy-sell provisions, valuation methods, dispute steps, and deadlock procedures. It can also explain what happens if a shareholder resigns, is terminated, retires, dies, becomes disabled, or wants to sell.
For Yorkville corporations, the agreement may need to balance active professionals or founders with passive investors, family shareholders, holding companies, or related corporations. It may also need to protect client relationships, confidential information, intellectual property, brand value, leased premises, investment assets, or real estate interests.
We also help shareholders make sure the agreement is supported by the corporation’s records. The minute book, share ledger, director and officer records, resolutions, and signing authority should match the terms being signed. Consistent records can make future financing, tax planning, ownership transfers, due diligence, and sale negotiations easier.
Our role is to explain the legal terms in practical language and help shareholders choose clauses that fit the company. For Yorkville shareholders, a clear agreement can protect the business, reduce uncertainty, and make decisions about control, money, transfers, and exits easier to manage.

Control and approvals
