Event Details

Join us for The Business Briefing — an event series from Brabners, a leading UK law firm, and Lancaster University Management School’s Entrepreneurs in Residence.

Bringing together legal expertise and entrepreneurial insight, the series explores key themes in starting and scaling a business — beginning with shareholder protection.

What to expect:

• Practical advice from legal experts

• Real-world relevance for start-ups, scale-ups & students

• Networking with lawyers, founders & future talent

This session: Why do you need a shareholder agreement?

Shareholder agreements are like seatbelts — you hope you never need them, but you’ll be glad they’re in place when things get bumpy (and they do). Set one up while everyone’s smiling, because once friendships sour, it’s too late to agree on who gets to drive the car.

8.00–8.30am: Refreshments & networking

8.30–9.15am: Presentation & Q&A
