Shareholders Agreement

Ohio

Asked on May 16, 2023

Can a shareholders agreement be digital?

I am a business owner looking to create a Shareholders Agreement with my business partner. We both have busy schedules and would prefer to avoid the hassle of having to meet in person to sign a physical document. I am wondering if it is possible to create a digital Shareholders Agreement that we could both sign electronically.

Sure. Gathering people around a conference room table to sign documents is so 1990s. I have clients all over the world, and routinely have them sign documents of all types (shareholder agreements, board resolutions, merger agreements, etc.) using platforms like Docusign. I couldn't function without it.
