Document background
The Shareholders Agreement Joint Venture is a crucial document used when two or more parties wish to establish a joint business venture under Swiss law. This agreement is particularly relevant in Switzerland due to its stable legal framework and position as an international business center. The document serves multiple purposes: it defines the relationships between shareholders, establishes corporate governance mechanisms, outlines capital contributions and financing obligations, and provides for business operation procedures. It includes specific provisions required under Swiss corporate law while accommodating international business practices. The agreement is typically used for new joint ventures, strategic partnerships, or when restructuring existing business relationships, and must comply with Swiss Code of Obligations requirements while protecting shareholders' interests.
