- Shareholder, Company (Operating), or Partnership Agreement
The biggest reason for the difference in fees is the negotiation and drafting of the shareholder, company, or partnership agreement. It is highly advisable to have such an agreement if you have more than one owner of a company. It serves as a “business pre-nuptial” so that many common issues are discussed and the owners have mechanisms to handle those situations (i.e. the big Ds – death, divorce, disability).
