Frequently Asked Questions

Is a shareholders agreement legally required in Ireland?

No — a shareholders agreement is not legally required, but it is strongly recommended for any company with more than one shareholder. Without one, the default rules of the Companies Act 2014 apply, which may not reflect what the shareholders actually agreed.

What is a share vesting schedule?

A vesting schedule is a provision in a shareholders agreement that requires founders or key employees to earn their shares over time (typically 3–4 years with a 1-year cliff). This prevents a founder from leaving early and retaining their full equity stake.

Can a shareholders agreement be enforced in Ireland?

Yes — a properly drafted shareholders agreement is a legally binding contract enforceable in the Irish courts. Breaches can give rise to injunctive relief and/or damages.
