03 — Warning signs

Signs that
your articles of association are not enough

Problems between shareholders almost never start with a lawsuit: they start with a document that did not provide for the situation.

There is no shareholder agreement

Or there is one, but it was never signed. Entries, exits and deadlocks are left without any rule.

Shareholders on a 50/50 split

With no mechanism to break the tie, the first serious disagreement paralyses the company.

Articles of association untouched since incorporation

Drafted for the company that was, not for the one it is today.

An investor or a family member is about to come in

That is the moment to sort out rights, majorities and exits, not afterwards.

The director is paid without that being provided for

If the articles do not say the role is remunerated, the salary can be called into question.

General meetings with no notice and no minutes

Resolutions passed that way are the first ones to be challenged.

04 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

The articles are public, they are registered and they bind everyone. The shareholder agreement is private and covers what the articles cannot say, or should not say.

Yes, by resolution of the general meeting with the majority the law requires, in a notarial deed registered at the Commercial Registry.

As a general rule, one year from when it was passed or, if it was registered, from its publication in the BORME; resolutions contrary to public policy have no time limit. For board resolutions, thirty days. It is best not to leave it to the last minute.

Not simply by virtue of the role, but yes for the damage caused by acts contrary to the law or to their duties, and in specific situations such as failing to wind the company up in time.

More about company and contract law

Company law

Company law sits within what is known as commercial law. Escalera & Tuset has a whole department specialising in that branch of commercial law. We provide legal advice of the highest quality.

Specialising is not a whim, it is a necessity, given how much more complex the legal and administrative framework has become, the arrival of new players and the rise in disputes between people. That is why Escalera & Tuset has qualified departments in specific branches of law. That approach lets us take a far more specific, far deeper view of every client's case. With that in mind, we have lawyers who specialise in company law alone.

Because of that, the firm has a whole range of services connected with this area: drawing up shareholder agreements and family protocols, advising on internal corporate disputes, company secretarial work and drafting commercial contracts, among many others. We stay with you through any process involving your company.
